A number of private gas stations are still reluctant to refill fuel oil (BBM) reserves by buying a base fuel from Pertamina.The reason Vivo cs is that the Oil Operator Operators have levels
ethanol
by 3.5 percent.
That number is slightly lower than Pertamina BBM products, Pertamax Green with a content of 5 percent.
Mixing ethanol into BBM is actually a global practice to reduce vehicle exhaust emissions so as to create better air quality.This ethanol comes from sugarcane or corn plants called bioethanol.

So what is the effect of ethanol on BBM on the engine?

Broadly speaking, the use of ethanol in the pure fuel mixture has a negative side to the engine, including reducing the distance of the vehicle or more wasteful.
This is because ethanol molecules contain less energy value than pure gasoline, quoting Bell Performance.
The energy value in petroleum fuel is a function of the amount of carbon bonds in molecules.Gasoline molecules are much longer with more carbon bonds than small ethanol molecules, so you have less energy potential in the mixture fuel.
For example, E10 or a mixture of 10 percent ethanol, has a decline in energy value of more than 3.5 percent to 5 percent.
Then, pure ethanol has a 35 percent lower BTU value of BTU than the number of gasoline equivalents.
Other facts, using ethanol concentration are higher than 15-20 percent can cause damage because the engine must be adjusted to calculate the combustion nature that is different from the concentration.
Another adverse effect of ethanol is that it can absorb water.Pure ethanol has a strong ability to absorb water and this can be a big problem for the type of E10-E85 when entering the engine.
Because, when water accumulates in fuel or storage tank, the water will sink into the bottom of the tank.The effect is certainly corrosion in the tank, blockage of filters, and decreased fuel quality.
Therefore adjustments to the engine of the manufacturer are certainly needed to prevent unwanted things to the vehicle.
