Honda City Type Z and E10 Gasoline?

[imperialv]

Hi guys,

can we fill up a honda city Type Z with E10 Gasoline?

[Type 100]

Yep, there should be no problem. Your SX8 City Type Z's engine is fuel-injected, not carbureted like the early 1996-97 models.

since mas recommended ito sa mga fuel injected cars at yan kotse mo ay fuel injected din puedeng puede

what do you mean na mas recommended sa fuel injected? I was just worried kasi diba there is a move that all gasoline will have ethanol content by 2010.

all UNLEADED fuel will be converted to e10. petron has started already. regular or premium petrol will remain leaded for simple reason that a lot of cars running on the streets today have carburetor engines which does not work well with unleaded or e10 fuels.

It doesn't concern you anymore since your SX8 City's engine is fuel-injected. You can run E10 without worrying about your valve seats being eaten away by the ethanol.

10% ethanol (hence E10) is way too low a concentration for any bad effects.

Now if your car had a carbureted engine, that would be another matter. The jury's still out on E10 for carbureted motors I think.

kaya kasi mas recommended ito sa fuel injected cars ng katulad ng sa'yo dahil fuel system mo wala gaanong rubber at tama ka pag dating ng 2010 or 11 ata yun kelangan lahat na ng gasoline ay may ethanol na.

dahil ang E10 ay may halong ethanol ibig sabihin ay may alcohol content din ito na corrosive pagdating mga rubber like fuel lines at fuel system na may rubber na kadalasan ay meron sa carb engine...... so ibig sabihin kapag E10 ang gamit mo tapos ang fuel system mo ay mararaming rubber like hose or fuel lines puede itong lumobo hanggang sa magka crack ito at magka-leak or puede rin naman lumutong at lumiit ang butas ng rubber hose.

MEDYO OT LANG:

pero sa kaso ko naman kahit carb engine ang small body na corolla ko E10 ang ginagamit ko at mahigit isang taon ko na itong gamit, hindi naman sya hard starting kahit malamig at mainit ang panahon....sabi ng mga ibang expert at yung mga nakasubok ay humina ang hatak at pumanget ang andar ng makina nila pero sa akin hindi eh kahit nung unleaded palang ako nun at ngayon E10 ang gamit ko hindi naman humina ang hatak at nag-iba ang andar ng makina ko kung ano ang naging performance ng kotse ko nung unleaded palang ako ganun din sa E10.

anyway i always choose E10 of shell kahit yung nag umpisa pa lang ako mag E10, i think mas maganda ang E10 nila kesa sa iba siguro kaya panget ang naging kalabasan ng performance ng kotse nila nung magpa fill-up sila ng E10 baka hindi shell pinili nila or else madaya ang mga gasoline station kung saan sila nagpapakarga...... but since my fuel feed system is carb i always check all my rubber hoses na connected at dinadaanan ng fuel as of now wala namang problema hindi naman sya lumobo at nagka crack, wala rin leaks at hindi din naman lumiit ang butas ng mga rubber hoses ko biruin mo mahigit isang taon na akong gumagamit ng E10 dapat nagkaroon na ng ganyang problema.

pero meron lang akong konti problema as konti lang talaga dahil ang tangke ko ay naka design lang para sa premium (leaded gasoline) at unleaded gasoline ay nag eevaporate ito dahil kasi nga naman may alcohol ito syempre ang kaya lang naman harangin ng takip ng tangke ko ay yung tubig na nang gagaling sa labas at fumes ng gasoline na nang gagaling sa tangke...... tingin ko doon nag eevaporate ang E10 sa bandang butas kahit may takip pa ito kung saan tayo nagkakarga ng gasoline.

tungkol naman sa tangke ko kung may iba pang hindi naman kasama sa design ng tangke ko katulad na lang ng butas na gawa ng kalawang or natama ito ng matindi sa matigas na bagay kaya nagkabutas at kung may leak ay wala naman din naman kasi lagi akong nadedrain at ibinababa ko ang tangke tuwing 6 months para i check kung mga dumi na hindi umaabot sa fuel filter syempre nililinis ko rin yun ng E10.

tungkol din naman sa E10 dahil may ethanol ito at ang ethanol ay may alcohol na isa ring water based chemical chinecheck ko din ang carb ko kung may mga mga white rust or lime scale ito at kung meron din moisture dahil ang alcohol ay malakas makagawa ng moisture ay wala din naman maski sa tangke ko wala din at nung minsan nagpalit ako ng cylinderhead gasket itong nakaraang mayo 16 lang wala din naman..... ganun din sa tangke ng gas ko wala din kalawang

Having a fuel-injected engine does not necessarily mean that it's compatible with E10 fuel. Here's an excerpt from the Honda Cars Makati website (http://www.hondamakati.com.ph/Ver2/N...ubmit=Features)

Mine is 1999 Honda City Type Z, October... So compatible siya?

Better ask Honda directly for a more authoritative answer. The URL I posted has contact information the the bottom.
