Ethanol in diesel

This is news to me....maybe someone placed the sticker in the wrong place?

10%
yep it does
|
Woaaa. Learn something everyday. Or WV pumps don't have the stickers. Probably don't know how to spell it.??? lol
|
I went to Exxon's site to try to find info on this, and found bubkis. They are open about ethanol in their gasolines (and obviously E85) but not one thing about ethanol in diesel.
I think the sticker was mistakenly applied to the pump. |
I think Omaha is the first place I saw it on the pump.

and sticker never got removed. |
I just called my local fuel distributor and he said the pump is incorrectly labelled. There is no ethanol in any diesel.

What would ethanol do in diesel fuel. I feel like it would be bad for the engine.
|
Ethanol has kept my shop busy for the last 10yrs, it is terrible for outboard engines.
|
I'm know it helps out farmers and makes the gas cheaper but it makes a mess out of a engine, especially one that doesn't have the oil changed as often as it should, makes for a lot of sludge... It's also pretty bad on small engines, I run it in my mower just because ethanol free is kind of hard to find but I've heard of it causing some trouble.

Either way, there is no ethanol in diesel, but there is probably biodiesel now, usually up to 10% most places. Chris |

The ethanol I think replaced MTBE IIRC. MTBE is some pretty nasty stuff |
Gotcha. That would make more sense that it's a very small portion...god forbid they actually explain things when they spend millions of taxpayer dollars...
Out here in ethanol and corn country they just say "we need corn" but don't pay any extra... Chris |
All I know is E85 is the cheapest race fuel you're ever going to buy!

Sig600,
There are ZERO subsidies for ethanol in the US. Like Z said, it replaced a very toxic additive while boosting octane. I run at least E10 in everything and have no regrets about it. I believe there are more problems with the base product 84 octane junk. Refineries kick out this junk fuel, blend it with ethanol to make a better fuel, and blame ethanol for all their problems..... |

And I hate to say it but I have had ALOT of work that they wouldn't have had to pay me if they didn't ever run eth fuel.

A bushel of corn can (supposedly) make 2.8 gallons of ethanol and takes about 9.8 gallons of water to process.
