How is Bioethanol used / Bioethanol Blends

Ethanol is most commonly used to power cars although it is also used to power other vehicles, such
as tractors, airplanes and boats. Like Biodiesel, engine old starting can be effected when using high
blends of Bioethanol fuel in cars. EU markets have adopted E85 (85 percent Ethanol / 15 percent
Gasoline) as the maximum blend to be used and this is the common standard which manufactures
work to when making their cars run Bioethanol or flexi-fuel. In some colder climate its it
recommended that an E70 blend is used.

A new type of fuel, SP95-E10 (Sans Plomb 95 Octane, Ethanol 10% = Lead Free 95 Octane
containing 10% of Ethanol) is now being sold throughout France.

This fuel is not suitable for use in all cars and you should check compatibility with your vehicle
manufacturer before using it. If in doubt use the standard SP95 or SP98 Octane unleaded fuel which
continues to be available alongside the new fuel.
