Comments on: About E4™ ENVIROLENE® http://www.biorootenergy.com Clean Mixed Alcohol Fuels from Wastes & Biomass Mon, 07 Jun 2010 20:02:43 -0400 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Jay http://www.biorootenergy.com/clean-energy-clean-planet/the-solution/about-envirolene/comment-page-1/#comment-214 Jay Fri, 29 Jan 2010 15:00:06 +0000 http://www.biorootenergy.com/?page_id=1173#comment-214 As boaters are learning, gums and varnish buildups in their fuel tanks and delivery/injector systems are residues of petroleum oils. And these residues typically become more dense in marine environments. Any alcohol which works to improve the combustion efficiencies of refined oil products will also work as a polar solvent, blending fully into oils or coals to beneficiate them and improve combustion efficiencies. This same solvency cleaning action can plug fuel filters in the worst cases where so much decarbonization of fuel storage tanks is taking place. The flip side is that the same cleaning action happening in fuel tanks and lines is also taking place inside the engine, turbine or boiler, which makes things run more efficiently and increases performance. I've been advised by Standard Alcohol that a marine variety of ENVIROLENE® will be introduced as Aqualene and feature a distinguishing royal blue color.

You see ethanol breaks down rust and or corrosions found in marine aluminum or fiberglass fuel tanks and outboard motors are failing. The standard fuel filters and racor separators are not enough to collect the debris, therefore many boater have had to replace their fuel tanks. There is an additive for this problem; however it is very expensive to use adding as much as 50% to the cost of already high fuel prices. Envirolene will probably work well with flex fuel vehicles, but keep it away from boaters unless they are equipped with stainless steel fuel tanks.
