E10 Ethanol, bad for your engine & economy? [MERGED]

[renzo_d10]

No.

Too short.

[Rev01veR]

cool

Too cool.

[renzo_d10]

But your swift can run fine on ethanol, why go with blaze?

[Rev01veR]

the manual said that although 10% ethanol is okay, it is recommended to go with alcohol free petrol for better mileage and performance.

[SiRbossR]

ahh not all PTT products pala don't have E10.

[ghosthunter]

anong type of petrol po ang walang halong ethanol? Blaze? Gold? Yung XCS kasi meron, yun pa naman gas ko lagi. Late ko na nabasa sa user's manual ko na iwasan ethanol as much as possible.

Petron BLAZE
Total ProTec

^Total Protec has E10 too.

^Total Protec has E10 too.

really? ... last time I checked (month ago), it still had no ethanol.

Sorry, random question. I recently acquired a second-hand Toyota Revo GLX 2004 1.8EFI M/T (7K-E). Is this E10 compatible?

I heard a recent Toyota statement saying: "Only Toyota vehicles model year 2004 onwards with Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) except 7K-E and 1RZ-E engines can readily accept the use of Ethanol blended in gasoline, up to [a maximum of] 10% by volume or E10."

Does this mean all models beyond 2004 are compatible except 7K-E and 1RZ-E engines? So Revo gas models despite being 2004 models are not compatible?

Thanks!

as far as i know sir lahat po ng gasoline ng big 3 at major oil companies may E10 na, required na kasi yun ng batas natin.

Old news. We've known for a while that E10 is complete sh*t if you leave it in the tank for too long. I've had to replace a fuel pump because of that garbage.

Consumers should really be given a choice. There are those of us who drive non-E10 compatible vehicles. Some modern vehicles are still not E10 compatible, and the rubber seals on the pumps are not hardened against it. Plus, for cars that are garaged, the alcohol in E10 loves water (where gasoline does not), and you risk water contamination and rusting of fuel components.

Well, I have been saying it since they first introduced E10 to the public many years ago. Now they are admitting it themselves. The government should not totally phase out "pure" gasolines (without ethanol).

Full tank pa naman ako palagi and two weeks before maubos. Kamote talaga. Yung phoenix ba may unleaded pa rin sila without ethanol?

Don't worry if its just two weeks. When I used E10 gasoline, it went "stale" in six weeks. My Auto-LPG fueled car has some (no E10) gasoline (1/4 level) in the fuel tank which may take four to six months before its consumed.

Thanks. Mahal kasi yung blaze pero ill load up on it every now and then. Naalangan kasi ako d2 sa phoenix station malapit sa amin.

Thanks for the heads up Masters!! :2thumbsup:

[Excalibur]

Naku kaka full tank ko pa lang ng shell fuel save yest dun sa isang car ko...

Nevertheless, the news said that if the car is sparingly used or left unused for about a week or more then it would be subjected to the said destructive effect of the ethanol mix.
Following this premise, if the car is used often or is not left at the garage for a week or more then said negative effect would then be considered null & void??

I've had some dieseling issues with my carbureted engine after using E10.
