Biodrivstoff, ethanolprosent - dødsdommen for veteranhobbyen?

[robertsoevik]

"While ethanol itself is not corrosive, ailment its property of attracting water is key to the problem. Together, ethanol and water create a medium perfect for growing acetobacter in the fuel tank. This bacterium creates a by-product called acetic acid, there which causes corrosion in the fuel system.\n\nThis isnt a major threat for people who use their vehicles on a daily basis, where the tank is getting refueled regularly. The constant use and re-filling keeps bacterial growth at bay. But for vehicles that are garage-kept for long periods of time, corrosion is a major concern as the stagnant fuel becomes a perfect breeding ground. "

Har MC i USA hvor de bruker ethanol, problemet er belegg paa alt ved lagring. Ellers maa kompresjon og tenning fikses/justeres for optimal ytelse/forbruk. Ethanolen spiser alt som har et snev av naturgummi, saa pakkninger og gamle gummi deler maa fjernes.
