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... show more

KEJRIWAL REACHES SERVICE STATION TO CHECK E20 DAMAGE HIMSELF 🔥 KEJRIWAL: This car is E20-compatible? MECHANIC: Yes. 2023 Honda City. It did not start for a week. Fuel pump is weak, injectors are choked. KEJRIWAL: So even compatible cars are getting hit? MECHANIC: Yes. Injectors, filters, fuel motor, mileage. Earlier it gave 15, now it gives 10. KEJRIWAL: Was this happening before E20? MECHANIC: Earlier cars came for regular service. Since E20, this problem keeps coming. We are also tired of it.

A bike mechanic from Bengaluru debunks the myths about E20 petrol. He says, 1. Don’t spread false information about E20 petrol. 2. E20 fuel may affect some rubber components over time. 3. But claims that E20 will rust the engine, crankshaft, bearings, or throttle body are misleading. 4. Fuel goes through the fuel injector into the engine, while the engine’s internal parts are lubricated by engine oil. 5. So, E20 fuel does not simply cause the engine’s internal parts to rust. He says people should provide accurate technical information instead of making sensational reels just to go viral.

E20 FIRE HAS REACHED LUXURY GARAGES 🚨 SAURABH: In the last month, how many E20-related fuel pump cases came here? MECHANIC 😳: At least 15-20 cars. Mostly fuel pump, injectors and fuel-related problems. SAURABH: Are new luxury cars E20-compatible? MECHANIC ⚠️: These are gasoline engines, not multi-fuel engines. At least 95 octane is needed. Owners should use 95 octane and additives.

#WATCH | Delhi: On ethanol, Maruti Suzuki India Corporate Affairs Senior Executive Officer, Rahul Bharti says, "In the previous few days, we have heard that there are some doubts on the usage of ethanol in cars. India mandated E20 from 2023 for material compliance, and before that it was E10. After 2023, both the cars and the fuel are mandated for E20. The cause of concern is what happens if E20 fuel is used in cars that have been manufactured and sold before 2023, which were primarily designed for E10?... We have sufficient factors of safety that ensure there is no problem in terms of wear and tear, corrosion, or damage to the life of the car or the parts that come in contact with the E20 fuel if E20 is used on cars that were produced and sold in India before 2023. As a manufacturer, we have tested E10 cars, which were prevalent before 2023, on E20 fuel for all parameters, and we have not found anything of concern..."

Say E20 is safe for non-compliant vehicles and compensate people if damage happens. REPORTER: They say mileage drop is minor. KEJRIWAL ⚡️: I am saying even 10%. If mileage drops more than that, pay people. If parts or engine get damaged, pay people. Let a third party decide if it was adulteration or E20.

ANMOL 🎯: People bought E10 vehicles with years of savings. Now E20 is being forced on them. Mileage is falling, engines are taking the hit, and the government wants everyone to pretend it is fine. SHEHZAD: Listen to experts. ARAI says E20 is safe. ANMOL ⚡️: Pure lie. Read the government’s own reports properly. ARAI flags rubber hoses, seals, gaskets and O-rings. NITI Aayog itself says E20 needs compatible parts and calibration. SHEHZAD: Show the report. ANMOL 🔥: I have it. This is not about farmers. This is about forcing citizens into E20 without choice, protection or accountability.

#WATCH | Bhubaneswar, Odisha: On concerns over ethanol-blended petrol, General Secretary, Utkal Petroleum Dealers’ Association, Sanjay Lath says, "... E20 fuel began to be supplied fully from October–November 2025, and from 1 April 2026 the government made it mandatory for private players and all oil companies to sell only E20. Since the notification, some people have raised psychological concerns, often posting on social media without evidence. At our own petrol pumps, none of the customers’ vehicles has shown any problems with E20. Those posting online also have no proof that E20 damages engines. Yes, three institutions produced reports on the long-term effects of E20, suggesting that older vehicles might experience problems, particularly on rubber parts. But there is no such proof of damage as of now." (04.07)

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.

Did Mercedes-Benz India lied publicly or manipulated the press statement slyly to avoid legal. If the BSVI cars are E20 compatible,(i.e. from 2020) then why do Mercedes Benz car manual of pre 2023 states that only to fill E10 petrol and categorically mentions that even " Even small amounts of the wrong fuel could result in damage to the fuel system, the engine and the emission control system".

Let's not fall for the fearmongering and look at facts instead🛑 E20 ethanol-blended petrol is NOT destroying your vehicle's engine, NOR is it filled with "sugarcane juice." The rumors are nothing but misinformation. Mechanics and daily commuters alike confirm that their vehicles are running perfectly fine on E20 without a single issue, just as they did with older fuels. India’s shift to ethanol blending is a powerful move for our economy, farmers, and the environment. Let's rely on facts and real experiences, not just social media panic. 🇮🇳

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!! ☺️

#WATCH | Goa | AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal says, "I wrote letters to 29 auto manufacturing companies. I asked them whether E20 fuel could be safely used in vehicles they had manufactured prior to 2023. I received no response. I then called them. Officials from nine companies spoke to me candidly, though they insisted I not reveal their identities or the names of their companies. They stated that E20 is a very dangerous fuel and using it in petrol-based vehicles manufactured before 2023 would be extremely hazardous for the vehicles. However, they said they could not speak out publicly because they are under immense pressure from the Central Government, and speaking against E20 could trigger raids by the ED, CBI, or Income Tax Department against them, or even lead to the closure of their plants. They are being harassed in various ways."

#WATCH | Delhi: On ethanol, Vikram Gulati, Country Head and Executive Vice President (Corporate Affairs and Governance) of Toyota Kirloskar Motor, says, "...I think there is a lot of misunderstanding about the fuel. For example, if you look at it from the automotive sector, there is a lot of myth that if you use E20 blended fuel, vehicles will get damaged. It's a myth. It doesn't happen this way. There's a lot of myth about the amount of mileage loss or the fuel efficiency loss. Yes, there is some fuel efficiency loss, no doubt. But it is not so big as it is being made out to be...E85 and E100, that is, 85% ethanol and 100 % ethanol, are not meant for regular cars. It is meant for a different type of technology, which is called a flex fuel vehicle. This vehicle can take any mix of ethanol. So people need not worry. E20 is the standard fuel that will be available, and it is compatible with old vehicles and new vehicles. All vehicles sold after 1st of April 2023 are fully materially compliant with E20. And people need to be reassured that in 2021, before we went into E20, there was a very detailed scientific study done by the leading automobile testing agency in the country, which is ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India). It clearly established that the possible damage to cars and two wheelers which are old is not there. It's very insignificant. And it also established that the fuel efficiency loss is to the extent of 2 to 4 per cent, not significant." On ethanol, he says, "As per the latest statistics from the government, the program so far has helped save 1.9 trillion rupees. Out of that, 1,60,000 crores has gone to farmers. So in the case of India, it's not only helped us to in some way mitigate the energy crisis, but it's also helped us to help the farmers...The reason why not just India, but many other countries are doing it is for energy security, for the agrarian economy, as well as for fighting climate change and environmental purposes."
