Chevrolet Ethanol Fuel System Treatment
Ethanol Fuel for your Chevrolet
Ethanol Fuel is ethyl alcohol, the same chemical in alcoholic beverages, but used as fuel. It is also referred to as "Flex Fuel" and is made from sugarcane or corn. Ethanol fuel comes in a variety of concentrations but is a blend of ethyl alcohol and traditional gasoline. Most gasoline today is E10, which means it is 90% gasoline and 10% ethanol. Flex Fuel can contain up to E85, which is 85% ethanol and only 15% gasoline. Consumers have increasingly accepted ethanol fuel because of the benefits it provides to the environment and for economic reasons. First, ethanol fuel has reduced greenhouse gas emissions when combusted, which helps protect the environment. Secondly, consumers have shown an interest in ethanol fuel because it helps reduce the nation's dependence on oil-producing nations economically. However, ethanol fuel is not perfect and has a few limitations that can be mitigated by Ethanol Fuel System Treatment.

Benefits of Ethanol Fuel System Treatment
Ethanol is a different chemical than gasoline and can damage plastics, rubber, and some polymers. Ethanol Fuel System Treatment can offset this threat by neutralizing the effects of ethanol on these materials. Ethanol Fuel System Treatment also treats traditional gasoline to help reduce the accumulation of detergents and additives on components like fuel injectors, helping to keep your fuel system clean.
