I have E-10 (10% ethanol) fuel in my area. Will Soltron work in ethanol- treated fuels?
Yes. Soltron works well in E-10. Ethanol, as a fuel additive, is growing in use around the country, and has value in reducing the use of imported oil. However, ethanol has characteristics that present the car or boat owner with unique housekeeping issues. Ethanol is polar, (has an electrical charge) which gives it a strong affinity for water. When a fuel tank is exposed to heavy moisture build-up from condensation, such as in marine applications, or sitting in emergency generators or RVs, or an above ground fuel tank that is exposed to large temperature swings, water tends to build up in the tank. Water and ethanol bind together. The mixture is heavier than gas and will fall to the bottom of the tank. This is called phase separation. This mixture can attack old resin, varnish, and gum residue from conventional gasoline, and this forms a sticky goo that can plug filters and clog fuel injectors. Soltron has been reported by many customers, including fuel and oil wholesalers, to cure this
