That's it bois, I brought out the beakers, syringes and glass jars. It's experiment time, putting Project Farm to shame... My place smelled like a fuel station for days, if you found this helpful consider liking and subscribing so it's worth while 😂 Want me to test REGULAR 95s ? We might see some interesting results there too !
Wow look at you being a hard working chemist! This is another one of those topics that you never think about despite interacting with it on a frequent basis. Learned some cool stuff!
I really enjoyed your video, made me laugh and gave me the answer I was looking for. If school was as fun and informative as this videos is , I’d probably be landing space crafts on a comet in a different galaxy.
We have an E-85 option in the US. It's usually .30 to .40 cents per gallon cheaper. Doing a mileage test with a Ford F-150 with a 5.0 liter V-8, the E-85 got a little more than 3mpg worse fuel mileage, and slightly less power. The good new is, the E-85 doesnt fluctuate in price like the E-10 does. So when the price of gasoline (not gas!) is high, it's worth the lower mileage for the E-85. The bad news is, the engine runs like total crap when the outdoor temp is below freezing
Whoa man, just found you on my RUclips Home Page. You're so good, your videos are relaxing, funny and informative at the same time. I just need to sub and support a channel like this, you deserve lots more subs. Keep it up, cheers from Italy! Ps. Btw, what's your bike? (if you have one, but it would be strange if not xD )
Grazzie mille ragazzo ! Pleasure to know you like the channel ! I ride mainly my XSR900 - you can see it in a few videos, one of those bikes you never want to sell
Interesting video bud loved your format and clear dialog thank you. Wondering what the test would should now we have e10. Have these companies changed their blend of ultimate or have they left it be?!!
The new Esso 99 octane is still 0% ethanol in most regions. As you said in this video, there are differences across the country with Esso's own website saying that it is Ethanol free everywhere apart from "Devon, Cornwall, the Teesside area and in Scotland" Good to see such a high octane fuel without it requiring ethanol to achieve it.
It makes sense doesn't it, different regions get their petrol from different refineries, therefore different blends. I wish more brands were more transparent like Esso is..
@@UrgetoRide Yeah definitely! It's one of the few things you buy in this world that doesn't tell you any of it's ingredients! They all just say "Detergent" or "Octane boosters" I want to know what and how! Spare all the rubbish advertising crap!
That's a interesting test, and has helped my understanding of ethanol content, sadly I can't share with my mates as suggested as they only only believe Billy down the pub.
Interesting vid 👍 So is pure petrol naturally clear and yellow dye added by some companies? I know a couple of guys with Triumph Sprints that have expanding tanks. Guess older vehicle owners have more to worry about.
Thanks R ! Yes gasoline/petrol is a naturally colorless liquid due to how it's made. Re dyes my knowledge is very limited - but clearly companies are adding different dyes and additives that end up changing the colour of the finished product.. Unfortunately impossible to know what in there, even looking at data sheets give you only rough estimations. Don't know what Sprint tanks are made of but yeah if you've got plastic or fiber tanks, you can be in trouble once concentrations increase :/
I wish I could give you a simple answer.. its more complex than one could think; it really depends on where the ethanol is from.. some methods are more eco friendly than others. The most used ones (corn in the US, sugar beets in UK, sugar cane in Brazil etc) are on average barely breaking even in terms of footprint once EVERYTHING is considered. Some methods currently in development (cellulosic ethanol) is MUCH better and has a much lower footprint, unlike the current methods which use a fuck ton of coal (yes coal..) to produce ethanol. So TLDR it is eco but not by as much as youd think, for now..
@@UrgetoRide I see, well in the long run as you mentioned, the lignocellulosic waste as it is the most abundantly available raw material like on the whole planet, it'll be way cheaper and as someone studying biotechnology I can assure you a lot of R&D is being done in the material do it's only a matter of time before it surpasses the more traditional method of ethanol production.
Bingo, exactly. I think its in the commercialisation stage in fact but im ready to not be surprised if things seem to drag. This will be lobbyied to death by big oils
In Brazil this mix could arrive to 30%. All brazilian engines can run any mix of petrol and ethanol, so from 100% petrol to 100% ethanol, and is called "total flex" or just "flex". Flex stands for flexibility. You will never find 100% petrol in Brazil now a days. And could be the reason that I feel brazilians' cars are "weaker" than europeans' cars. Btw great job!
Thats right, a lot of Brazil is running even higher levels of Ethanol, but then their cars are made and tuned for it ! Import a euro car to Brazil and run it on Brazilian fuel and you'll have a fuel hazard and a big bill on your hands 😆 Your hunch on them running weaker is perfectly logical to be fair.. Thank you ma man !
I wonder if this has something to do with a lot of companies currently using a lot of Ethanol for disinfectants, thus making it less economical to add it to fuel. Would love to see the same comparison with regular fuel, though I'm not sure if it's worth doing another video about.
I think they use other alcohols, not ethanol. Isopropyl maybe but don't quote me Im not sure.. Im sure regular will have a LOT more in it, if theres enough demand for it I'll def do a very short part 2 laying out the findings 👍

I work for an oil company and this is spot on. Some premium brands and supermarket fuels come from the same tank.
Yeah but arnt the additives added after that
Great video that mate, very interesting and funny as usual. Keep em coming👍🏻
Very glad you liked it ma man 🤜🤛

1:38 Friend! Hahaha I loved that show so much! Probably too much XD
now i can confidently top up at sainsburys

Your channel hits harder than the subscriber number shows. Definitely keep making content, people will find you.
Doing my best, thank you !
Excellente information

Sometimes you just gotta let go and accept your friends are idiots 😂
Informative and excellent explanation many thanks.
Pleasure Paul !
Need to do this test again now e10 has come
Thanks for the experiment
Thanks for doing this
Can you do these test in next few week s 4 update on tesco momentum

Good video, but more than one single millilitre is millilitres of course 😉
So is it environment friendly to add more ethanol? Or they just do it to cut costs?

So who’s better is it shell or BP

Do it!
Good to know thanks
Gas=short for Gasoline
Admittedly I did wonder why LPG uptake was so high in the US until someone explained that to me.
Yeah but it’s actually called petroleum and that’s why we call it petrol in uk
Keep it up
I saw a Sainburys tanker filling a BP station, just sayin'
Thats because Sainbury's fuel is BP fuel.
Sainsbury’s is shit fuel
Très intéressant
Gas is short for gasoline.
I mean, gas wouldn’t happen to stand for “gasoline” lmao. Definitely not air.
she'll or BP better?
Bp for me
Asda
The esso is 99
🤗
In North America, Costco Premium fuel has zero methanol.
Gas-o-line...duh....
Luis suarez .ha
Gas is short for gasoline.....DUH lol
