Gasoline - Continue

Modern unleaded gasoline is a complex substance. I have found that ongoing research is necessary to seek ways to produce fuels that offer efficient engine performance and meet air pollution standards. Back in the 70s, while I was still in high school, 10% etanol blend of gasoline, known as gasohol, was introduced. My best friends dad was in too this area big time. He bought a large piece of land outside of our town to store and develope in this area of new fuels. Today, this product is often sold as super unleaded or preminum unleaded gasoline, depending on the octane level. The main drawback to these gasoline blends is their ability to absorb moisture, which can pass through the fuel filter and into the combustion chamber. These fuels should never be stored in high humidity areas or used in engines that set idle for long periods of time. Gasoline containing alcohol can also corrode fuel tank linings, shrink carburetor floats and seals, increase carbon deposits, and pit metal parts. For maximum performance and engine life, only use the type of gasoline recommended by the engine manufacturer.
