Answer the following.
What are the benefits of mixing ethanol with petrol and diesel?
Answer:
The energy content of ethanol is about 33% less than pure gasoline. Ethanol fuel is ethyl alcohol, the same type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages, used as fuel. It is most often used as a motor fuel, mainly as a bio fuel additive for gasoline. For environmental purposes, ethanol is less harmful than unblended gasoline as carbon monoxide production from ethanol fuel is significantly lower than that of gasoline engines. Also, ethanol is easier to source since it comes from processed corn, which means it also helps local farm and manufacturing economies.
