E10 gasoline on carb engines [MERGED THREADS]

[OldSchoolHack]

It is pointless to insist any fuel right now is non-ethanol blended. All of them are.

Yun nga lang some are not yet E10. They still have less than 10% Ethanol. By August all will be E10. My source:Biofuel law which takes full effect by August 1, 2010 or four years after it was approved.

Nowadays only old diesel vehicles will work well with Biofuel. Diesel engines are designed with more resistant seals, gaskets and pipes. In fact older diesel engines will have no problem with E10. Mas tolerant lumang engines na diesel, circa 1999 and older. Some of these machines can even run with vegetable oil.

Halos karamihan ng gasoline E10 na .Iyong huling karga ko sa Premium ng Rephil Gas station ay may halong e10 na rin.

Di ba E10 breaks down rubber hoses, gaskets and seals?

Is it possible that the seeping out of fuel into the engine bay increase the possibility of fire?

Lately may mga cases na kasi ng cars catching fire in the engine bay especially with older cars. Electrical wiring daw.

But in an engine bay what would catch fire? Di ba yung mga wires lang which are supposed to be made of fire retardant material? What else? Dirt and grease? pwede. But would that burn out the whole bay? Even engine oil does not burn that quickly.

Could it be cause by fuel seeping out of broken rubber hoses, gaskets and seals due to E10 and being ignited by an electrical spark? Scary possibility.

That is a distinct possibility bro....

And most of our fellow drivers are "trapped" because of this law. Worse, they have not been properly informed.....

BIOFUELS LAW:

http://www.alternat1ve.com/biofuel/2...e-philippines/

May 6, the 2006 Biofuel Act was implemented in the Philippines. The Biofuel Law of the Philippines calls for a 5% mixing of Ethanol in gasoline and 1% mixing of biodiesel in the petrodiesel during the first few years of implementation.

From the 2006 Biofuels Law

5.1 Within two (2) years from the effectivity of this Act, at least five percent (5%) bioethanol shall comprise the annual total volume of gasoline fuel actually sold and distributed by each and every oil company in the country, subject to the requirement that all bioethanol blended gasoline shall contain a minimum of five percent (5%) bioethanol fuel by volume: Provided, That the ethanol blend conforms to PNS.

5.2 Within four (4) years from the effectivity of this Act, the NBB created under this Act is empowered to determine the feasibility and thereafter recommend to DOE to mandate a minimum of ten (10%) percent blend of bioethanol by volume into all gasoline fuel distributed and sold by each and every oil company in the country.

In the event of supply shortage of locally-produced bioethanol during the four-year period, oil companies shall be allowed to import bioethanol but only to the extent of the shortage as may be determined by the NBB.

5.3 In lieu of the effectivity of this Act, immediately within three (3) months upon the signing which shall be promulgated upon the approval of this Act of the IRR, a minimum of one percent (1%) biodiesel by volume shall be blended into all diesel engine fuels sold in the country: Provided, That the biodiesel blend conforms to PNS for biodiesel.

Within two (2) years from effectivity of this Act, the NBB created under this Act is empowered to determine the feasibility and thereafter recommend to DOE to mandate a total of two percent (2%) blend of biodiesel by volume subject to domestic supply and availability of locally-sourced biodiesel component.

The deadline for gasoline stations to switch all gasolines to E10-gasolines is May 2010.
