Quotation: The new petrol could be considerably more harmful to the engines than previously known. BMW and Daimler want to investigate a new suspicion together. Three to four million cars on German roads do not tolerate the new fuel type E10 at all – that was already known. But now there is a new suspicion: all other cars could also be affected. Because E10, with conventional petrol ten percent ethanol from grain and sugar beet beet The biofuel E10: German motorists have no confidence in the new fuel Due to the high ethanol content, the amount of water in the engine increases, said Thomas Brüner, head of mechanical development at BMW, the “world on Sunday”: “The water condenses from the combustion gases and gets into the oil, which is diluted and aged faster. n, “that we have to shorten the oil exchange intervals.” In clear terms: In future, drivers may have to drive to the workshop more often to change oil – which costs for example, for a six-cylinder every time a good 200 euros. Whether it comes to this or whether the E10 sprite sold in Germany is good enough, the automakers do not yet know. BMW therefore wants to carry out tests together with the competitor Daimler. Experts advise drivers, in the meantime, If this indicates a higher oil level than the previous control, there is suspicion of oil dilution. E10 has been introduced in Germany since the beginning of the year. This is intended to reduce the emissions of the greenhouse gas CO2 – despite the warning of environmental associations that believe that the climate balance of E10 is even negative. Many unsettled and angry drivers are now still fuelling the only remaining fuel of an old kind, Super Plus – although this is more expensive This week, it forced entire refineries to stop their production. “The confusion at the pump must end,” said Transport Minister Peter Ramsauer (CSU) of the “World on Sunday.” At the petrol summit convened for Tuesday, the Federal Government will “discuss the further action with all those involved: “The oil industry must explain the lack of information and substantially improve consumer education. The energy expert of the Federal Consumer Association (vzbv), Holger Krawinkel, for example, welcomes the buyer’s strike: “Politics must now finally consider how it puts the ecological renewal of the energy system off its head.” Criticism is directed above all at the leading minister: Environment Director Norbert Röttgen (CDU). “The sensorium for moods and sensitivities in the population is extremely submerged in the ministry,” said FDP-Fra. The chairman of the Transport Committee in the Bundestag, Winfried Hermann (Greens), said that the planned petrol summit was “rather a summit of aftercare, because the Federal Government has forgotten the precautionary coordination.” Hermann calls for a preliminary end to the Biosprit project: “The government must stop the introduction of the new fuel varieties.” It has to be clarified at first which engines are really deceiving the fuel and in which the ecolog Source: http://goo.gl/HhFBf

Hello everyone, I would like to tackle this topic, because my interest in this kind of fuel is quite large and I have the feeling that there is not much information yet. With this link everything started. http://www.adac.de/images/23212_tcm8-124557.pdf As can be read in this pdf file, one distinguishes between two varieties at Plantanol: “plantanol-diesel-diesel” and “plantanol-diesel 100”. The former consists of pure vegetable oil and a 2% addition of a Additives DX52, which promises better ignition capability, more effective and better combustion, increased performance and improved motor running properties etc. with Pöl. This type is intended for pre- or vortex chamber diesel engines. So the ADAC writes that you can, for example, operate a VAG TD with 100% Pöl by simply adding the 2% additive DX 52? That’s just what I don’t understand. Isn’t the Pöl with the additive still too thick? afstoffsorte, “plantanol-diesel 100”, is suitable for direct injections (TDI, TDI PD, Common Rail). This species consists of 70% Pöl, 30% (Bio)Diesel and 2% Additive DX52 in summer. In winter, the percentage of the flow improver is increased. Thus, it is specified that a DI with this mixture is fully operational, the mixture is probably not too thick liquid in this case too? Suddenly no more problems with oil input into the oil? the “plantanol-diesel 100” for the TDI, because we have a rather high annual driving performance with the Sharan TDI PD, but a two-tank conversion is too expensive. Would I be very pleased about opinions on this topic. MfG Simon

Moin people, I have a question, and I have already milled myself through the forum for a few hours and would like to try one of my V8 Fords (see Sig) the admixture of schnapps. Is there actually in ethanol operation for large volume slow turning machines compatibility advantages or are small motors better off? How should I handle it? I also have a small Omega 2.0, C20NE, what does it look like with this. But most of all this would interest me because of the Americans. Thank you.
