Siouxland Ethanol LLC is using recovered landfill gas piped in from the L.P. Gill landfill located a mile away, and blending it with natural gas in the thermal oxidizer for its 50 MMgy ethanol plant.
Research performed in the USA is indicating that the majority of modern, unleaded, petrol engine vehicles on the roads today actually will perform better if they are run on E20 ~ E30 ( a 20% ~ 30% blend of ethanol in unleaded petrol) compared with straight, unleaded petrol. This poses the question: why is the ethanol mandate only set at 10%, when maybe it should be higher?
The following manual comes from White Lightning E85 Ethanol conversion kits. It shows how easy it is to convert a conventional, unleaded vehicle over to run on E85 (85% ethanol with 15% unleaded fuel mixture)
Here are some clear facts about ethanol and whether it's suitable for your car. Don't be fooled by the BS that's out there: get the straight facts. Information provided here is collected from government bodies and registered organisations, with expertise in the information delivered.
The E85 fuel that blends 85 per cent ethanol and 15 per cent unleaded petrol (to claim environmental benefits) has launched into the Australian market. Now available in a limited number of locations, when will it be more accessible the the Australian public?
We are trying to keep an up to date list of petrol stations selling E85 in Australia. If you know of others, please let us know and we'll add them to our list.
