E20 BLENDING FUEL / FLEX FUEL

Image
Flex fuel vehicles are cars and trucks that are designed to run on a combination of gasoline and ethanol. The E20 blend, also known as "gasohol," is a mixture of 20% ethanol and 80% gasoline. This fuel blend is commonly used in Brazil, where it was first introduced in the 1970s as a way to reduce the country's dependence on imported oil. In a flex fuel vehicle, the engine is designed to be able to run on gasoline, ethanol, or any combination of the two. The vehicle's computer system adjusts the fuel injection and ignition timing to optimize performance based on the fuel blend being used. This means that drivers can fill up with E20 at a gas station, just like they would with regular gasoline, and the vehicle will automatically adjust to run on the blended fuel. Ethanol is an alcohol-based fuel that is made from corn, sugarcane, or other crops. It is a renewable resource that can be produced domestically, which makes it an attractive alternative to gasoline. Ethanol is...
