E20 Petrol Has a Bigger Problem Than Ethanol Customers may not even be getting the expected 80% petrol if existing storage tanks aren’t fully E20-compatible. If the government and petrol pump associations are aware of these infrastructure gaps, they need to be addressed urgently. Fix the infrastructure first. Then... show more

Union Road Transport & Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari has strongly defended E20 petrol, challenging critics to produce evidence of a single petrol vehicle corroded because of ethanol. "I challenge anyone to show me a single petrol vehicle that has been corroded because of ethanol. Please send a copy of the complaint to both the dealer and me," Gadkari said, responding to concerns around E20 fuel compatibility. Do you think E20 petrol is being unfairly blamed, or do consumers have genuine concerns? VC: Sudarshan News #E20 #NitinGadkari #Ethanol #PetrolCars

#WATCH | The Petroleum Dealers Association has urged the Centre to reconsider the rollout of E20 (20% ethanol-blended petrol), claiming the fuel is causing operational and customer-related challenges at fuel stations. Association President Sasanka Sekhar Sahu said many vehicles on Indian roads, including several BS6 models, were not originally designed for a 20% ethanol blend. He alleged that the fuel has led to complaints of clogged carburettors and other mechanical issues, with frustrated customers often confronting petrol pump owners despite dealers having no role in fuel policy. The Centre has been pushing the adoption of E20 fuel as part of its strategy to reduce crude oil imports, lower emissions and boost ethanol production. However, dealers have now called for a review of the policy, arguing that vehicle compatibility concerns need to be addressed. #E20 #Petrol #Fuel #Ethanol #Automobile #BS6 #India #BreakingNews #Moneycontrol

#WATCH | Guwahati, Assam: Raijor Dal MLA Akhil Gogoi staged protest in the Assam assembly premises against Ethanol blend fuel He says, "By mixing 20% ethanol in petrol, they have ruined our car engines. Mileage has also reduced. The government is saying that this is an experiment. If it is an experiment, then try it in one or two vehicles. Why in the entire country? If you want to experiment further, then make a provision that for those who use normal petrol, it will be normal petrol and for those who use E20, it will be E-E20. And thirdly, you should look at the price, look at the price of petrol, 20% ethanol is mixed in it. Has the price of petrol reduced after this?..."

VIDEO | Delhi: Addressing a press conference, AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal, says, "At today's town hall, people put forward three demands. First, consumers should have a choice at petrol pumps... those who want E20 fuel should be able to buy E20, while those who prefer pure petrol should have the option to purchase pure petrol. Second, the price of E20 fuel should be lower than that of pure petrol. Third, with global crude oil prices having declined, the retail price of petrol should be reduced to below Rs 84 per litre. If ethanol is not beneficial from any perspective, why is it being promoted? People are facing difficulties because of ethanol. It is more expensive than petrol, delivers lower mileage, does not benefit farmers, and does not save foreign exchange. Moreover, in areas surrounding ethanol production plants, groundwater reportedly becomes polluted. So why is the central government pushing ethanol across the country by presenting misleading figures and against the wishes of the people? Why is it forcing it upon citizens? What is the Modi government's compulsion or hidden agenda? After examining the issue, it is being done under pressure from America." #E20 #Ethanol #ArvindKejriwal (Full video available on PTI Videos -

Exposing the fake news that the ARAI report did not recommend E20 blended ethanol! • Every petrol car and two-wheeler on the road over the last 3 years has already used 15%, 19%, and 20% ethanol-blended petrol. • In the last 3 years, 20 crore two-wheelers have already run on ethanol-blended petrol! • Those who are against farmers, the middle class, and the Indian economy are opposing ethanol-blended petrol! • The acceleration of cars improves, the driving experience is better, and carbon emissions are lower. Only the Chinese lobby will benefit if India does not go ahead with the Ethanol Blended Petrol Mission…

Are we getting scammed? 🤔 I met Pushpendra Singh bhai in Malaysia and was surprised to see fuel prices there. Malaysia offers lower fuel prices, no ethanol blending in regular petrol, and significantly better road infrastructure. In India, consumers pay high fuel taxes and premium fuel prices, yet the standard fuel is E20 blended, while many still deal with poor road conditions. How does that make sense? Are you guys facing vehicle problems due to E20? #E20 #Ethanol

Yesterday, Kejriwal claimed citing mechanics that E20 petrol damages engines and fuel injectors. Here's what an actual mechanic says: E20 does not damage the engine or fuel injectors. Research also says same that at most, in older vehicles that are not E20-compatible, it may accelerate the deterioration of older rubber hoses, seals, or some plastic fuel system components if they are made from materials that are not ethanol-resistant. That's it, rest all are rumours E20 does not damage the engine or injectors.

E10 EXPERIMENT SHOWS WHY WATER IN FUEL CAN KILL YOUR ENGINE 🚨 HOST: We added only 40 ml water to E10 petrol. After shaking, look at the bottom layer. It has almost doubled. EXPERT: Water has pulled the ethanol down. That bottom layer is now water plus ethanol, and the top is almost pure petrol. HOST: What happens if this goes into the fuel tank? EXPERT: If that layer reaches the engine, it may misfire or not start at all. HOST: And E20 makes this worse? EXPERT 😳: Yes. With E20, there is double ethanol, so if water enters the tank, the separation problem becomes more severe.

#WATCH | Delhi: AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal says, "...Pure petrol should be available in our country at ₹82 per litre; and if we switch to E20 fuel, I believe the price should drop even further, to around ₹70 per litre, compared to the ₹102 currently charged for E20 petrol. We can calculate diesel prices in the same way; diesel prices could also be reduced. If petrol and diesel prices come down, I believe it would deal a significant blow to inflation and provide people with much-needed relief... On behalf of the people of this country, I demand that the government immediately start supplying pure petrol at ₹82 per litre; and if E20 is to be supplied, the price should be even lower."

Did a simple ethanol check myself yesterday! Watch it till the end! Took 170 mL of E20 petrol, added 20 mL of water, shook it well, and after the layers separated, the water/ethanol layer measured 40 mL. That suggests roughly 20 mL of ethanol in 170 mL of fuel around 11.8% ethanol (roughly E12), not E20. If my calculations are correct, then I have a genuine question: has the ethanol content quietly been reduced from E20 to E12 temporarily because of a widespread backlash? or is there another explanation for these results? Either way, this also shows how readily ethanol attracts water and what moisture inside a fuel tank can potentially do over time. Happy to be corrected if my calculations or the test method are wrong!! ☺️

Journalist: My car's mileage was 10 to 11 in city. After E20 petrol, the mileage has been reduced to 7. Nitin Gadkari: You can't calculate avg of your car by yourself. Only a machine can check your avg and only then I will believe that mileage of your car has reduced. I do understand that there are lots of misinformation and fake videos regarding E20 petrol. But Nitin Gadkari's stance that E20 Petrol is not affecting cars is absolutely laughable. Even if I assume that E20 Petrol is not harming E20 compliant cars but what about cars which are only E10 compliant. Nitin Gadkari has no idea about how much people are turning against him. The decision to rush E20 Petrol and impose it on everyone within such a short time is not looking good now.
