Anti Ethanol in Fuel Petition.

[Dalemac]

The fact that Ethanol is being used in petrol is not a widely known fact, as it has been kept quiet by the government. Fuels which include Ethanol are bad for older machines as well as newer bikes with plastic fuel tanks. Its also cheeky that the Ethanol is being used as a cheap alternative to pad out petrol, but the prices continue to rise. Essentially we are paying more for less 'petrol' which in turn damages our vehicles.

Below is a petition against the use of Ethanol in fuels.

also, some guidlines as to what companies use ethanol:

5% ethanol has been in petrol for years. its 10% ethanol you want to worry about...

That ^^ and the fact most tanks produced are fine... someone did post a list of what models etc were all upgraded in the past to cope.

Ethanol is actually effing expensive compared to petroleum (before tax!), it's the ecomentals and CAP that are to blame for this debacle.

I'm sure they called the removal of lead from fuel death for most older cars but that really wasn't the case.

This is the same, it's done to reduce carbon emissions.

Whilst I disagree with putting it up from E5 to E10, I'd define myself as 'nonplussed' by the change.

In this day and age, 'carbon' has been DEMONIZED by the World's media for absolutely no reason, there is no scientific basis as to why it should be demonized in such a way.

The current estimates for human contribution towards the 'greenhouse effect' range from 0.2% to 2%. That is completely insignificant. It its 98%-99.8% natural processes that release the carbon dioxide and other gases that contribute towards 'global warming', which is another 'fad word' which is also cock of the poppiest nature.

'Global warming' is far too vague a notion, saying that the temperature of the Earth is increasing due to humans releasing greenhouse gasses is so far from the truth and not only because it's far too focussed on one part of the cause.

The surface temperature of the Earth almost always closely follows the solar activity cycles, severe volcanic eruptions and NATURAL greenhouse gas emissions, the anthropologic effect is incredibly small.

So why has carbon been demonized? To give politicians something to argue about and look good when they are fighting for...

I petition for more ethanol in fuel. Once there's enough in the fuel you'll be able to switch to 100% and make your own at home

Considering adding ethanol means we need buy less oil thus keeping price down it can't be all bad.
So the oil lasts longer too.
There's issues with bio-diesel incorporate in the normal stuff too, it has a shorter shelf-life and can grow strange bacteria and algae which blocks filters and injection systems.
