What is Ethanol?


    Ethanol is an alcohol made from renewable resources like corn and wheat. Grains are processed with enzymes and the "mash" is distilled to produce a high quality alcohol. Fuel grade ethanol is about 99% pure alcohol and has a number of important properties to it that make it an excellent fuel additive for your car.

    Ethanol is a clean burning fuel that contains a high percentage (35%) of oxygen that encourages a more complete combustion of your car's fuel thereby reducing harmful emissions. More importantly, ethanol is renewable. The Canadian Renewable Fuels Association has provided an online FAQ information sheet on Ethanol, this is a compressive listing of questions and answers.
