"Ethanol content" refers to the amount or proportion of ethanol present in a substance or product. It indicates the level of ethanol, typically an alcohol, that is contained within a mixture or solution.

Fig. 2 (right axis) shows the expected percentage of
ethanol content in the future gasoline blend pool.
Re: Joint opposition to petition from Growth Energy to increase the allowable
ethanol content of gasoline to 15 volume percent.
The kit provides changes in the cold start cranking compensation, changes to the maximum target boost, changes in the ignition timing, changes to target airflow, changes in cam timing, and changes in the fuel economy gauge reading all based solely
on ethanol content in the gas tank.
«This year we are running 10 percent ethanol under the ALMS regulations, but we've been prepared to run fuel
with ethanol content for some time,» he noted.
This week USEPA announced that the
maximum ethanol content of motor fuel sold in the USA would be allowed to rise from 10 % to 15 %.
«The idea is that a small reduction in alcohol — such as beer with four per
cent ethanol content versus six per cent — would reduce alcohol intake per drinker even if the same overall amount of beverage is consumed,» says Dr. Jürgen Rehm, lead author and Director of the Institute for Mental Health Policy Research at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in Toronto, Canada.
Unfortunately, the Denali is not offered with FlexFuel capability — the ability to run on gasoline using up to 85
percent ethanol content — although the Sierra SLT offers the option for $ 100 on the 5.3 - liter.

Ethanol Content Analyzer with Flow Through Sensor
Washington reasoned that with growing gasoline consumption, mandating sharply
rising ethanol content in gasoline was achievable with most vehicles using E10 gasoline.
Finnish Meteorological institute conducted a study on
how ethanol content of flex - fuel vehicle influences exhaust emissions.
Rio De Janeiro has a different pollution mix than other cities because of the
high ethanol content in the gas their.
That flies in the face of the serious market distortions now manifesting in the «blend wall» at 10 %
ethanol content in gasoline.
If consumers aren't willing to buy flex - fuel vehicles, regulators have seized on the idea of raising the blend wall from a 10 % maxi - mum to a 15 %
maximum ethanol content or from E10 to E15.
This methodology has been fully described by others (e.g., Lachenmeier et al., 2010) and provides a model protocol for evaluating
the ethanol content and safety of unrecorded alcohol products.
Liquor, for instance, has a much higher
ethanol content than beer or wine, especially low - alcohol wines.
The fitness industry has long had a negative stance on alcohol consumption due to its lack of nutrition (empty calories) and
ethanol content, the toxic metabolic by - product that can cause damage to your liver and inhibit essential nutrient absorption like amino acids and B vitamins, while also impeding upon muscle protein synthesis.
The latest Porsche models with a petrol engine are designed to operate on fuels with
an ethanol content of up to 10 %.
* The latest Porsche models are designed to operate on fuels with
an ethanol content of up to 10 %.
The ethanol content in motor fuel makes gasoline degrade over several months.
Sunlight - illuminated particles can also drive H2O - ethanol distillation, yielding fractions significantly richer in
ethanol content than simple thermal distillation.
This damage is unnecessary and can be avoided by freezing
the ethanol content of gasoline at 10 % by volume.
If you look at a flex - fuel car, it will have all fuel related parts made of materials designed to withstand the corrosion effects of the higher
ethanol content.
Plan 4 is the sneaky plan to increase
the ethanol content of gasoline to the point where it will destroy many old cars and force people into buying new cars that the EPA considers green, such as the Chevy Volt, Toyota Prius, Nissan Leaf, or at the very least, more fuel - efficient gasoline powered cars that pollute less and will run on E15.
If the ethanol mandate in the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) required more, then you're running into the ethanol «blend wall» — that is, to satisfy the RFS, refiners would have to blend fuel with higher
ethanol content than millions of vehicles are designed to use.
The Obama Administration has forced up
the ethanol content of gasoline, heedless of the fact that ethanol makes gas costlier and dirtier, increases ozone pollution, and increases the death toll from smog and air pollution.
Even with this small increase in the share of natural gas powered vehicles,
the ethanol content of the gasoline pool could rise to 34 %, posing an even greater problem for the future viability of E10 and E85 gasoline.
Falling — instead of rising — gasoline consumption means that fuel blenders can no longer absorb the mandated ethanol quantities and still produce gasoline with no more than 10 %
ethanol content.
Even if
the ethanol content of the gasoline pool rises to only 28 %, it will mean that the number of vehicles using E85 must rise to 24 % of the vehicle fleet (versus 14 % originally forecast in 2007).

ethanol content on primary emissions and secondary aerosol formation potential for a modern flex - fuel gasoline vehicle, Atmos.
Results indicate that when
the ethanol content of the fuel increased, the emissions of gaseous organic compounds increased whereas the amount of aromatic compounds such as benzene and toluene decreased.
