Bioethanol is a clean and sustainable fuel; on the contrary, the addition of bioethanol to gasoline normally creates corrosion on automobile fuel system materials. In this study, corrosion characteristics of low carbon steel normally encountered in gasoline engine fuel system with bioethanol fuel was investigated. Static immersion tests in different fuel blends E0 (gasoline), E10 and E85 were carried out at room temperature for 1320 h. The mechanical, physical and chemical properties of low carbon steel before and after immersion tests were investigated. Moreover, the physical and chemical properties of fuel blends before and after immersion tests were investigated. The results revealed that the usage of E10 blend is considered feasible for gasoline engines in terms of materials compatibility compared to E85.

Bioethanol fuel produced from biomass and bioenergy crops has been proclaimed as one of the feasible alternative to gasoline in internal combustion engines. In this study, the effect of gasoline–ethanol–methanol (GEM) ternary blend on performance characteristics of petrol engine was studied. Three different fuel blends, namely, E0 (gasoline), G75E21M4 (75% gasoline, 21% hydrous ethanol and 4% methanol) and E25 (25% anhydrous ethanol and 75% gasoline) were tested in a 1.3-l K3-VE spark-ignition engine having four cylinders, dynamic variable valve timing, and electronic fuel injection. The experimental results revealed that using G75E21M4 fuel blend increased the air-fuel ratio, engine power, torque, brake thermal efficiency, and mean effective pressure compared to E0 and E25, however, fuel consumption also increased.
