– Because that now comes twice as much bioethanol in the petrol, there will also be emitted less CO2. Overall it will reduce CO2 emissions by about 200,000 tonnes a year to go from the current E5 to E10, says Michael Mücke Jensen, engineering and environmental manager in the Driving force of Denmark, in the press release.
With the new E10 standard will the current E5 brand on tankpistolerne be replaced with an E10 label. However, it is only on 95 octane. High-octane gasoline with octane 98 or more will continue to have the lower E5-blending of bioethanol and, therefore, still be labelled E5.
tanks of 95 octane, is there a reason to pay attention, for it is not safe, that your car is approved for it.
About 5 percent of the fleet is not approved for E10. It is typical of older cars from the 90’s, or some of the first models with turbo-injection. Do you have a petrol car from 2011 onwards, it is approved for E10.
– Therefore, it is important that you ensure that your car can run on E10 gasoline, before you thoughts. It can do on the website E10benzin.dk or by contacting the bilmærkets importer. The car can not run on E10, recommend FDM, that in the future, the thoughts of E5 petrol with a higher octane rating. Even if it is a little more expensive. Otherwise you run the risk of damage to the car, says Lone Otto, head of the FDMs technical advice, in a press release.
– nothing happens by that you come to that thought a bit E10, only to subsequently fill the E5 petrol. But have you filled the tank with E10, you should get emptied. Completely as by other fejltankning, she says.
Is your car not approved for E10, you can continue thought the E5 at gas stations across the country. Keep an eye out for the mark on the insert the pump nozzle, where it is clearly stated whether you thought the E10 or E5.
