E15 Gas Approved by EPA Slammed by AAA – Carmakers Will Not Honor Warranties
January 2, 2013
• E15 is approved by the EPA and being pushed by the Government. AAA says do not use it.
• There wasn’t a lot of testing done on E15
• E15 is 15% ethanol. E-85, also in gas stations is 85% ethanol. Both E15 and E-85 are fine for flex-fuel vehicles, but there are few of them on the streets. E15 and E-85 are a danger to all other vehicles, and you risk your warranty being voided.
• There is “phase separation” when the ethanol merges with gasoline at the pump. The ethanol is heavier and goes to the bottom of the gas tank. The vehicle draws the ethanol first. Ethanol is so corrosive that it damages fuel systems and engines. When the ethanol is gone, the gasoline is drawn. There is proof that it damages fuel lines, emission systems and engines.
• Companies which manufacture fuel lines say they have brand new vehicles with rotted-out fuel systems.
• E15 Destroys Gaskets due to the corrosiveness of ethanol
• E15 is made 3 octane levels lower, 87 octane is actually 84 octane – which damages your engine because it “detonates.”
• A lot of money is changing hands. Corn subsidies are huge.
• Farmers are growing more corn fewer other agricultural products, so groceries are going up. Remember the skyrocketing price of tortillas in Mexico? Consumers will be hurt badly in severa areas.
• E15 is highly corrosive – so corrosive it has to be distributed to the gas stations in stainless steel tanks.
• From E15, you get less than one-third-energy per-gallon of gasoline that has ethanol in it compared to regular gasoline that doesn’t have ethanol. In otherwords, you go a shorter distance using ethanol. It means you are filling up at the pump more often, and you risk costly damages to your engine.
• E15 may appear to be cheaper, but it’s not and you risk costly repairs and a voided warranty
