What is Ethanol Fuel Mixture?

Ethanol fuel mixture refers to the blend of ethanol and gasoline used in flex-fuel vehicles or modified engines. Ethanol is a renewable fuel made from plant materials, typically corn or sugarcane. When mixed with gasoline, it can increase the octane rating of the fuel, potentially improving engine performance and reducing emissions.

 Common ethanol blends include E10 (10% ethanol, 90% gasoline), E15, E85, and custom blends like E30 or E50.

How to Use the Ethanol Fuel Mixture Calculator?

1. Current Tank Status

Enter your vehicle’s tank size in gallons.

Input the current fuel level as a percentage (e.g., 50% for half tank).

Specify the current ethanol content of the fuel in your tank.

2. Desired Mixture

Enter your target ethanol percentage.

Input the ethanol content of the E85 fuel you’ll be using (typically 85%, but can vary).

Specify the ethanol content of the regular gasoline (usually 10% for E10 gas).

3. Click the “Calculate” button to get your results

The calculator will determine how much E85 and regular gasoline you need to add to achieve your desired ethanol percentage. It takes into account your current fuel level and composition, ensuring accurate results for your specific situation.

This tool is invaluable for car enthusiasts, racers, and anyone with a flex-fuel vehicle looking to optimize their fuel mixture. By allowing users to input specific details about their current fuel and desired blend, it offers a personalized solution for ethanol fuel mixing. Whether you’re aiming for maximum performance, fuel economy, or a balance of both, this calculator helps you achieve the perfect ethanol-gasoline ratio for your needs.

Remember to always follow your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations and local regulations regarding ethanol fuel use. This calculator is a guide and should be used in conjunction with proper knowledge of your vehicle’s capabilities and requirements.
