Ethanol

Pure ethanol is the alcohol which is the intoxicating agent in liquor, beer

and wine. It is distilled from the fermentation of plants such as field corn

and sugar cane. When ethanol is used in the making of motor fuels, a

small amount of a bad tasting chemical is added to discourage beverage

use. The resulting fuel is called E

100 meaning 100% pure ethanol

diluted by 2% to 5% gasoline as the “denaturant.”

Fuel ethanol (summer blend

) is then made by adding 15% more

unleaded gasoline. The resulting fuel also has a higher octane rating than

unleaded regular gasoline and other properties which allow engine

designs with greater efficiency and power.

Winter blends may contain up to 30% (E70)unleaded gasoline (25% plus

the denaturant) to enhance cold engine starts. Severely cold weather

may require additional measures for reliable starting. Refer to Cold

Weather Starting in the Driving chapter.

Ethanol is more chemically active than gasoline. It corrodes some metals

and causes some plastic and rubber components to swell, break down or

become brittle and crack, especially when mixed with gasoline. Special

materials and procedures have been developed for flexible fuel vehicles

and the dispensers used by ethanol fuel providers.

WARNING: Flexible fuel components and standard unleaded

gasoline fuel components are not interchangeable. If your

vehicle is not serviced in accordance with flexible fuel vehicles

procedures, damage may occur and your warranty may be

invalidated.

WARNING: When refueling always shut the engine off and

never allow sparks or open flames near the filler neck. Never

smoke while refueling. Fuel vapor is extremely hazardous under

certain conditions. Care should be taken to avoid inhaling

excess fumes.

WARNING: The flow of fuel through a fuel pump nozzle can

produce static electricity, which can cause a fire if fuel is

pumped into an ungrounded fuel container.
