Simplified : Ethanol In Your Petrol | PowerDrift 

Hey #PDArmy, we hope this clears up your doubts about Ethanol. If you have any more, do let us know down below, and hit that Like button if you want to see more Simplified videos!

Even with ethanol mix, I'm sure the price of fuel will still be high.

I remember there was a TVS Apache Fi Ethanol variant on sale, just 3/4 years ago. Most probably it was a 180cc bike, preface lift model

This looks like the end for retro vehicles especially the two stroke motorcycles

Biker, teacher, racer, motivator, writer. The many sides of Schumi. Glad to know them all ☺️

As an engineering student i had presented a paper on Ethanol as an alternative fuel... You covered all the points👍👍 User's dont have to worry atleast in India because most of our landscape dont have freezing temperatures.

I remember TVS releasing Apache biofuel variant long ago.. How is that vehicle different?🤔

I'm a Mechie doing my Phd in Alternative fuels, this is a revolutionary change by the govt....

This just cleared up so many of my questions about Ethanol mixes. I love the idea of slightly higher performance because of the Oxygen in the Ethanol blend fuel. Another great video by PowerDrift/Shumi. Always a pleasure watching your videos.

2:57 It would appear that ethanol is a cyclic compound with 12 carbons.

TVS: first Indian fuel-injected motorcycle. first Indian motorcycle to have rear disc brakes. first Indian to incorporate motorcycle ABS. first Indian Ethanol powered motorcycle. And a lot more! wow. good going really!

Big question is, will the fuel cost go down if the E25 come into picture ?

To produce a litre of ethanol 13k litres of water is required to feed the sugarcane crop. With already a downfall in the ground water table and rainfall becoming monotonous or maybe unpredictable, may be a step ahead in technology wise but economically not a viable option on longer run. Alternative sources mostly renewable energies is the only way forward.

What happens to bs3,bs4,bs6 engines if we use e25 fuel ?

what happens to carburetted motorcycles from the recent past? will they be able to run e25?

Awesome video and explanation of the topics you cover. Thanks a ton! Can you please make a video on: Is there a future to vehicles powered by air? Need your expertise on air being an option of fuel!

Please teach oil companies about how to store ethanols so that it does not attract moisture from atmosphere and stay moisture free, as moisture in Ethanol leads to phased separation in fuel tanks leading to engine stall.

Oil lobby won't let this happen. I'm sure they'll come up with something...

2:53 chemistry people : oooo bhaaiiiiii..... maaro muzeeee Anyways very informative video Shumar Sir👍👍🏾👍🏻

the only Sunday online class that I'm willing to watch happily. thanks, Prof. Shumi!

Thanks! Great explanation. I believe PD army is the only one in India that actually gives enthusiasts like us such consistent and clear information. Thanks once again!

Great explanation of ethanol. Wondering what the future of internal combustion motorcycle engines holds; will they still be with us or in what capacity? Thanks

Hey Powerdrift, What will happen to a carburettor vehicle when used with E25?

First look at the thumbnail, I thought it's a one shot video for organic chemistry ⚗🤣

So, can i pour ethanol in mix with petrol in my bike and use it worry free??

When I visit a petrol pump, do I have to ask for E-10 or they give it anyway? And will it bring down the cost of petrol? From when we can expect E-25?

What will be the cost of e25 compared to petrol

Is that fuel going to be cheaper then the existing one?? Coz that's all matters me the most. 😅

You don't need to grow crops specifically for ethanol, You can turn cellulose into sugars and ferment it into ethanol, Practically any form of biomass can be converted into sugars....More than ethanol Methanol is more efficient under test conditions...

If that is the case why thrs a special ethnol varient of Apache and how different is it from the existing varient?

Nice video. Can I go ahead and buy a 4 wheeler today? I heard today's vehicles are only E10 material compliant and not E10 engine compliant. Won't few parts corrode if E20 is used on E10 material compliant vehicle as current vehicles in market are neither E20 material compliant nor E20 engine compliant?

Fourth! 🤣

E25 is not gonna bother much to existing engines.. Agreed.. Pricing.. the main topic. Will there be changes in prices of fuel?

0:06 Shuumi should consider challenging Eminem sometime 😂 PD Tech talk are always fun, keep them coming 👍

Beautifully portrayed and explained

The auto industry is becoming more like mobile industry, every day new change which is good anyways but buyer doesn’t know if the purchase will be relevant over the years.

I think for use of fuel with ethanol under E25, we just need to increase fuel injection timing or fuel injection pressure, like what we do for cold start today. So no need to change injector hole size or do major changes in fuel system. Nice info PD 👍

Interesting, 1. Current market price of ethanol is rupees 60 per liter (give or take because transport cost will vary). 2. Taking 100% petrol at today market price of Rs.100. If 10% ethanol is added, then 90% of petrol costs 90 rupees and 10% of ethanol will cost 6 rupees. So cost of E10 petrol should be 96 rupees. But I'm sure prices will not be reduced. 3. Calories per liter in ethanol is much lower than petrol has stated in this video. So this is double whammy, you're paying more and getting lesser efficient fuel.

What about emissions? As we burn more fuel +ethanol mixture to achieve the desired power / torque .. will it emit more exhaust gases ? Will it drop Per ltr mileage as more fuel required to produce the power ??

Please make a video on how the different types of engines (S.I. , C.I.) will perform with ethanol.

As the name suggests...Shumi and PD always stick to their to the point and SIMPLIFIED content... 👍👍👍👍

This was the best episode of Simplified yet.

If Ethanol E-100 is used how much milage can a vehicle achieve? Does the average of the car/bike drop or stands the same as the current petrol vehicle? And how much would it achieve if E-25 is used?

Which is better for long term use, petrol/ diesel engine. Taking into factor of maintenance, durability , daily use, cost of fuel etc...

What about the emission caused from Ethanol? Will it cause more pollution than petrol or less?

Day 16 of asking PowerDrift to bring Holy Shift Season 2.

as long as grown crops makes efficient ethanol without affecting the base of lively hood that is water supply and crop supply, then it will be considered a alternative option to most combustible fuel.

Absolutely love this series! It doesn't really matter but the structure of ethanol is wrong @2:54 I know it's nitpicking but a simple Google search would have helped. Pardon me, I know it's not an organic chemistry channel 😜

very well simplified....very nicely explained thanks Schumi

So, just to be sure, Kwid 2018 model should be Ethanol compatible?

What happens to the octane rating of fuel as it is diluted when mixed with ethanol. And how much of a difference would it make? Since you mentioned that ethanol is more suited for higher compression engines, does it cancel out the dilution? Also, what about carburetted engines, simply running a richer mix should do the trick?

Shumi very well done 👍🏻 keeping it simple and on point

1. what is the cost comparison like, per km of travel - ethanol against diesel and petrol 2. what is India s potential capacity to produce Ethanol, i.e. up to what portion of the domestic consumption can we produce ourselves ?

Can my rtr 200 bs6 (ride modes model) take ethanol without any issues in the engine or to the plastics? Also how many years from now it could take for the E25 to come?

if I buy a vehicle in 2021, how does that affect me in the coming 3 years or 5 years. would the vehicle run without any issues?

One of the best series that i have watched. Really enjoyed this.

Varun-Shumi=Powerdrift, can't imagine watching Powerdrift without this duo.

What about vintage vehicles, would they be able to function properly with E25?

The one and only question I have is, do petrol prices drop down by the usage of ethanol? 🙂

Wow, schumi knows ethanol and ethanol knows schumi...heh.

You are doing an amazing job with this series guys. Love your channel.

How about a carburetted motorcycle ? Any modifications in fuelling needed ?

E10 petrol will be sold along with E25 for older vehicles

Shumi is that teacher whose class I always look forward to

It is still waste of resources and money to bring ethanol based fuel as it is not going to lower cost of of fuel as govt always ready to increase taxes. And also next few years is very critical to aggressively shift to electric vehicles as several countries are already building infrastructures for battery chagrining stations and electric vehicles. But we still don’t have clue where we stand on this. Govt is pushing car manufacturers to build electric vehicles without infrastructure. Now all of a sudden the govt is talking about ethanol based fuel technology.

Always delivering quality content ! Powerdrift has become a dependable brand in itself. Kudos to the team

What will be impact to milage and pickup?

What about long term fuel storage in the vehicle / bunk tanks. Isn't ethanol hygroscopic? I've had problems starting my bike(R3) after a weeks time..

A video regarding various safety features like abs, ebd, esp etc. would be great and how great they would be for Indian roads. This can include upcoming safety features which are not widely implemented yet or are still being tested. Thanks in advance for making these great videos.

Prof. Shumi is back with a new chapter. Thank for such nice explanation.

This is the most under rated channel when it comes to automotive information. Everyone shows cars and bikes, but to give the information which really matters to the users in such a simple way is incredible. Love your content and love Shumi's way of delivering this content.

Finally the price Will be same with 150% of GST.

Will it cause any problems in carborettor engines? 🤔

You missed the points about fuel economy with ethanol blends. E25 petrol will give you less fuel economy bcz more fuel has to be burned to produce same amount of power.

Beautifully explained!

What about the water deposit in the engine due to increaed ethanol levels in fuel

So now that we are looking at all these changes in a 5-7 or 7-8 years time in india, would this change results in a price hike for vehicles as we saw it happening with the bs6 shift? And if yes how big a hike should we expect?

simplified to it's utmost SHUMI ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I was worried more for my BS4 Yamaha FZ25 than my BS6 Interceptor 650

Please give suggestions which vehicles are great to buy with these Norm changes 👍 Always excellent presentations

Ethanol is great but ethanol made from plant might end up with the risk of extreme use of fresh water. So it's like indirectly using fresh water into ethanol as we already use huge amounts of fresh water for producing food. 😇 But still a good option though

Using food source for fuel is a bad idea. Plants are horrible at using energy from sun. They are around 0.1% to 1 % efficient Meanwhile solar panels are upto 40% efficient. Meaning if we use carbon capture to make synthetic fuel using solar energy it's much more efficient and scalable. And a bonus is that it's not gonna use as much arable land. Infact you can build a carbon capture plant in a desert and it will perform almost the same (although localised pollution does affect it). That's a much sustainable way to go.

Can small part change into the vehicle makes engines better to perform on E25 for long go. Like changing fuel injector in vehicle or some other parts for carburettor engine BS4 or BS6 for fuel injection or any other part which is responsible?

Can bs6 engine run on ethanol with 20% blended with petrol?most of the vehicles user manual says not to use ethanol more than 10%.

I think ev's in the coming years will make the ethanol issue inconsequential. I think manufacturers should set their sights on ev's instead of sticking stubbornly to a gasoline platform. One good ev product would make most vehicle buyers shift and leave traditional ICE manufacturing companies staring at redundancy.

I know everything, but can't avoid the temptation of shumi ❤️❤️❤️❤️

It is mixed only with petrol or diesel as well, what about new turbo charged petrol SUVs being launched now ..

Wish we had options for double like... For the amazing content provided by PD..!!

Instead of blending with petrol, ethanol could be blended with diethyl ether and then the CR and ignition delay can be optimised, also the lubricant , which shouldn't ruin the cylinder liner and piston rings

Superb explanation 🙏

I was going to buy a Classic 350 next week. Now feeling a bit nervous anticipating that so much complications to come while buying fuel..

Hello, how much blending % where BS6 vehicles can sustain without any maintanace and current desired life with petrol and same question for BS4

Your explanation is good. But in various news there is a talk that if ethanol mixed petrol comes in contact in water than the mixed ethanol turns into water which could harm to engine. Is it right?

I really like your business approach on this subject good video thank you!

Boss at 10% Ethanol am already losing 2kmpl milage in my car.. what should we do to compensate this loss. Also the car cranks up late in the winter mornings.. should I Restrict my air intake a little?

I have heard that Jeep compass in it's manual mentioned about No liability for the engine happenings if the fuel is Ethanol mixed above certain limit.

If Ethanol causes less range tb government prices low set krne pdenge nhi to prices 150-200rs for liter petrol tk asani se bdh jayenge

Good video. Some questions- 1. हम जो पेट्रोल डलवा ते हैं उसमें अभी कितना एथेनॉल होता है? 2. क्या पेट्रोल पंप कहीं पर स्पेसिफाई करते हैं कि हम जो पेट्रोल बेच रहे हैं उसमें कितना एथेनॉल है? 3. यदि एक गाड़ी 100% पेट्रोल पर चल रही हो, एक गाड़ी 90-10(P-E) पर चल रही हो, एक 90-25(P-E) पर चल रही हो और एक 100% एथेनॉल पर चल रही हो तो इसका प्रदूषण पर क्या फर्क पड़ेगा। कौन सी गाड़ी ज़्यादा प्रदूषण करेगी, कौन सी कम ? REQUEST - Please answer at least the last one‍, if not all.

why should we need to use ethanol, is it eco-friendly or there other ways to bypass petrol and diesel engine except electric motors...

Everything is fine for ethonol but what will be the efficiency and cost per ltr

If it's Shumi sir class__ I'm 💯% present.. very important topic again.... Nice pd army
