High-Tech Look At The Future Of Fuel
Thinking green may soon mean thinking yellow. That's the word from experts as an increasing number of cars are being designed to run on ethanol fuel made from yellow corn.
E10 is one of the most common types of ethanol-based fuels, but something called E85-a fuel made from an 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline blend- provides more power and burns cleaner. E85 can be used in new types of GM "flex-fuel" vehicles, which can also burn regular gas.
Of course, hybrid vehicles and vehicles that run on fuel cells are making news as well and many are on the road today. People can get a sneak peek at the future of fuel efficiency (and find out what's happening now) at an attraction called Fuel For Thought at Walt Disney Worl... Click Here to Read More!
Flexible fuel vehicles are just like an average car in the sense that they use a single gas tank. But it can run on a mixture of gasoline and alcohol based fuel. Any car made after 1988 can run on a mixture of 10% ethanol and 90% gasoline. A flexible fuel vehicle can run on a mixture of up to 85% ethanol. Modifications are needed for this ratio as alcohol based fuels are corrosive.
Fuel tanks and engines must be modified in flexible fuel vehicles. In the US, there is a special indicator used that analyzes the ratio of the mix and adjusts itself accordingly to make sure that the fuel is burned clean. This is done by adjusting the timing and the fuel injection and happens automatically. Many flexible fuel vehicles are also required ... Click Here to Read More!
Indy Race Cars to switch to Ethanol Race Fuel
Ethanol @ Indy
Beginning in 2006, all vehicles in the IndyCar Series moved away from methanol, and towards an ethanol-enriched fuel. The Honda Indy V-8 engines competed in the 90th Indianapolis 500 and throughout the 2006 IndyCar Series season on a 10 percent ethanol and 90 percent methanol fuel blend. The high performance engines have demonstrated excellent performance while running on ethanol due to the fuelÂ’s high octane content. The 2006 season will not be the first time ethanol fuel has powered a car in the famed Indianapolis 500 series race. The 11th Indianapolis 500, held in 1927, featured a car driven by Leon Duray which was fueled by ethyl (grain) alcohol. Please see the resource listing for a link to the entire articl...
