Actually, hE15 is the only ethanol-containing fuel on sale here in any quantity. I have to make a detour to get it, but will do so one day for the sake of science  |
The chemical make up of the fuel would be interesting to know. With water in the mix (literally and figuratively), what is in the fuel to avoid corrosion and phase separation?
