This is a short YouTube video that demonstrates the differences between various transportation fuels and their residue following combustion. It was prepared by McHenry Illinois Farm Bureau.
Larry, Ag in the Classroom Coordinator for McHenry County Farm Bureau shows us differences in fuel emissions, first looking at a 90% gasoline / 10% ethanol, then E85 – 15% gasoline / 85% ethanol, then 2 cycle fuel – a gasoline/oil mixture, lastly kerosene, which is used for some airplanes. After viewing the burning of just one chemistry stick, you can see that ethanol burns much cleaner than gas.
When you hear the ANTI-ethanol lobby talking about the environmental impact of ethanol….refer them to this video!
