Ethanol is considered an EPA oxygenated fuel. It can be produced from biological feedstock that contain sugars. Blends of at least 85% are considered alternative fuel under the Energy Policy Act of 1992. The production of ethanol can be energy efficient as it yields 25% more energy than is used in growing corn.
Studies at the Argonne National Laboratory have shown that it is possible with addition of varying amounts of ethanol to diesel fuel to reduce particulate matter emissions and nitrogen oxide emissions up to 75% and 84% respectively. This striking study shows the possibility of adding ethanol to our diesel economy.
At SAE Energy we have developed a unique injector/reactor to mix varying amounts of ethanol with diesel fuel. This unique system is monitored by an ECU to inject precise amounts of ethanol based upon vehicle map curves. It can enhance performance while reducing diesel fuel consumption and improving emissions. We research the precise metering for each vehicle, these kits are installed to ensure optimum performance. They require no major modifications and can be installed on a wide range of vehicles.
The use of ethanol-enhanced diesel fuel in vehicles can lead to significant energy savings. It can provide diesel fuel alternative and help stimulate the use of alternative fuel. It can be used with biodiesel and can enhance your vehicle performance while helping the environment.
