Introduction
The discovery of fuel has come a long way. From simple forms of fuel, that is coal to petroleum and gas. From environmentally hazardous fuels to more environmentally friendly fuel samples. The discoveries
brought into light the e85 octane rating which is a “dual” fuel, that is, it contains 85% ethanol contents and 15% gasoline contents in percentage.
The discovery and use of environmentally friendly fuel samples has been a daily part in the campaign against massive global warming and the need of using fuels that are 1% to 0% carbon dioxide emissions free.

More about e85 octane rating

Most fuels can cause bad damages to the engines . They can cause the engine to burst especially during winter. That is why e85 octane is preferred to other fuel because it has a very low heating value that makes it impossible to cause cracks in engines. It has a very high sensitivity to simple ignitions, that is, those that occurs before the majorly expected ignition spark occurs and also the chained combustion of gases in the end before the arrival of the flame front.

Advantages

The e85 octane rating fuel, with 15%gasoline has reduced the dependency on petroleum products and their importation. Since it is environmentally friendly, it has reduced emissions of carbon dioxide gas hence no increased global warming. Since it is a high octane rating fuel, it is able to withstand more extreme compressions before dedication or denoting making the engines to function even better.
There is very minimal negative effects associated with e85 high octane rating fuel. The impacts on the environment is absolutely very minimal . It has low levels and reduced levels of greenhouse gas emissions and contains very high percentage of oxygen gas contents that allows it to burn in a very clean and

complete way.
The e85 octane rating fuel contains very less and minimal gum-forming components or compounds because it has the ability to disperse and repel very toxic chemical compounds like that associated with
benzene.
The performance power of the fuel is very high and enhanced due to its low emission rate. The reduced emission rate has led to the modification of engines, (the flex vehicle engines) that are able to use e85.

Disadvantages

The e85 octane rating fuel has some disadvantages. It has a very low energy production that is, it has a low heating value.
Other uses and benefits of e85 octane rating fuel.
It can be in engines with very high compressions that can produce more power per displacement unit.
Global warming campaigns and Congresses has actually brought the use of ethanol to a profound debate in an open way to many nations. The price of e85 octane fuel is very low and making it cheaper and affordable to many people. The impression created by the fuel is its reduced emission if greenhouse gases. It is a clean fuel due to its complete combustions. This has helped in reducing the formation of fog pollutants.
It is of good performance and environmentally friendly and able to produce cooling effects on engines
thus reducing overheating in engines.
