Ethanol has negative effects on engines both on land and marine motors and non-ethanol added fuel should still be available for purchase at regular fueling stations.

 Ethanol  Burning of fuel from spark ignition  Biotic plants used as fuel  Combustion  Atmospheric emissions

 Ethanol is a alcohol based fuel made by fermenting and distilling starch crops such as corn. Ethanol can also be made from cellulosic biomass found in trees and grasses.  E10 also called gasohol is a blend of 90% gasoline and 10% ethanol  E85 is a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline.  (Energy)

 This is the burning of fuel from a chemical reaction between a fuel source and oxygen releasing heat.  The process that moves us.

 Biofuels  Engines and parts

 Any engine that operates by burning its fuel inside the engine.  Common fuels include gasoline, diesel, hydrogen, methane, propane and others.  Engines typically run on one fuel type and require adjustment to run on other fuels.  Process:  Mix of gasoline and air sprayed into cylinder  Compressed by piston at optimal point  Spark plug ignites the fuel  Heat generated  Hot gases and high pressure then drive the piston back down  Repeated  (About.com)

 1860 Ottocycle First prototype engine ran on straight ethanol. (ICM)  1907 Cheap fossil fuels found ethanol then went to the side because of higher cost. (ICM)  1908 Henry Ford developed his model T which could run on flex fuel or ethanol. (Keeney, 2011)  If we kept using ethanol from the start the technology may have developed over time to handle the ethanol with less damage

 Temperatures  Price  Damage Cost  Fuel Mileage  Corn Production  Availability  Environment Emissions  Future Implications

Higher running temperatures lead to possibility of damage and running hot for both car and boat engines. The hotter the engines run they run the risk of overheating leading to engine failure. (Naidenko, 2009)

The cost of regular unleaded fuel has always been lower then the cost of ethanol as shown in the graph. Being as the ethanol also has lower mpg we have to burn more fuel to go the same distance as regular non ethanol fuel. (Papier, 2007)

 Hoses  Clogs engine filters  Stalling  Overheating  Contamination  All these lead to repair cost

The graph shows how pure gasoline gets better mpg over gasoline with 10% ethanol at the more common slower drive speeds. (Wertheimer, 2009)

Instead of using corn for food purposes we are using for fuel. We could be feeding millions of people with the amount of corn used daily. (Jessen, 2012), (Future)

Ethanol amounts being produced is growing at a rapid rate. (Us Ethanol Production, 2011)

The use of more renewable biofuels is what is being worked toward in the future. The graph shows the net energy yield of a few biofuel sources and corn is the least shown. If we are moving toward biofuels why are we not using sugar cane instead? (Biopact, 2007)

 There are moves being made to make 15% and 20% ethanol added gasoline.  Automakers and Boaters are against the idea.  Many lawsuits and court cases.

 Ethanol being burned leads to new and high amounts of emissions.  When we consider the total greenhouse gas emissions from growing and processing the ethanol emissions are not less.  We also can consider that as demand grows for corn we will be clearing farmland which may be forest and other natural environments we need for carbon sinks. (American)

The future is to continue to replace more then 90% of our nations gasoline usage in the next 20 years. Our engines will then have to be replaced or completely overhauled which is not cost efficient.

(Healey, 2011) (Future)

 Very fuel regular gas stations only 1 that I know of in South Florida  Marinas  Not easily accessible for recreational vehicles both land and on water.

 Ethanol enzyme treatments  Run higher octane fuel like premium  Frequent maintenance and checks of engine parts  When available use non-ethanol fuel

 Make the non-ethanol fuel available by choice at regular gas stations  Develop a cost effective program for consumers to switch engines to newer engines being made to handle the ethanol  Get rid of ethanol fuels all together
