To calculate these values, use the following formula: | To calculate these values, use the following formula: | ||
- | <% ethanol> * 9.0078 + <% gasoline> * 14.64 | + | <% ethanol> * 9.0078 + <% gasoline> * 14.64 |
For example, for running pure E85, you would use: | For example, for running pure E85, you would use: | ||
- | 0.85 * 9.0078 + 0.15 * 14.64 = 9.8526 | + | 0.85 * 9.0078 + 0.15 * 14.64 = 9.8526 |
The 14.64 figure above comes from the chemically correct stoichiometric ratio of gasoline. A lot more data can be found on the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E85_in_standard_engines|wikipedia E85 page]]. | The 14.64 figure above comes from the chemically correct stoichiometric ratio of gasoline.
