Can the use of E85 Bio Ethanol or a mixture cause corrosion problems with rubber and aluminium components?
No. Today, the cause of many corrosion problems in rubber and aluminium components is the lack of constant preventive maintenance and adulterated fuel, that is, fuels that contain a blend of water, chlorine and solvent. This affects the system very badly and can be the origin of failures and increased consumption that can result in serious car problems. The clean, non adulterated Bio Ethanol (E100) will not cause any corrosion problem; it will only reduce the parts lubrication, therefore, we must add petroleum to Bio Ethanol (E85) to avoid these problems.
