What is BioEthanol?
• A liquid fuel derived from renewable plant resources such as grain, corn and sugar.
• A renewable transportation fuel whose production contributes only small amount of CO2 (carbon dioxide) to the earths atmosphere.
• A clean burning fuel that acts as an oxygen enhancer when blended with gasoline.
• A gasoline substitute to help meet the global demand for automotive fuel.
• A non toxic water soluable clean fuel that reduces urban air pollution.

What is fuel ethanol?
Fuel ethanol or anhydrous alcohol is produced by dehydration of rectified spirit or extra neutral alcohol. Ethanol used as part of the fuel, by blending with petrol, for a motor vehicle is called fuel-ethanol.
How it is mixed in Petrol/Gasoline?
Ethanol could be blended in various proportions in petrol. Ethanol is usually added 5 to 10% by volume of petrol for such application. In Brazil , ethanol is added 24% by volume in gasoline (petrol).
How does it help in reducing pollution?
Use of ethanol in place of tetraethyl lead or MTBE which acts as anti-knocking agents will prevent dangerous and poisonous emissions containing lead or MTBE from petrol.
Will I have to change the engine of my Car?
Many states in the US have been using 10% ethanol blend in gasoline (petrol) for use in their cars. Brazil has been using up to 24 % ethanol in petrol. Engines of cars do not need any change to use petrol with up to 24 % ethanol in it.
Will the engine of my vehicle get damaged?
Ethanol has, apart from carbon and hydrogen, oxygen in it. This oxygen acts as oxygenating agent during combustion in the IC engine of petrol cars, two-wheelers and three wheelers thus preventing formation of carbon monoxide. Gasoline with ethanol as anti-knocking agent will not cause any damage to the engine.
Can it be used in Two-wheelers/Three-wheelers without any change in vehicles?
Yes! Of course you can use gasoline in Two-Wheelers/Three-Wheelers as a normal fuel without changing the engine or any other things.
