Can I use this in E20 compliant Vehicles? 3. How to use the additive, what quantity and how frequently? 4. Will these additives damage my engine? 5. What if I use premium petrol? 6. Is this Oil additive or Petrol additive? The video "E20 Petrol - Solution, Tips, DOs and Don'ts" from Raj ka Garage explains the impact of using E20 petrol (20% ethanol blend) on vehicle engines, especially motorcycles. Key points summarized: The Supreme Court dismissed a PIL that sought to oppose the mandatory use of E20 petrol despite concerns about ethanol damaging vehicles. Ethanol in petrol attracts moisture, causing water accumulation and corrosion inside fuel tanks, pumps, injectors, and combustion chambers, leading to deteriorated engine performance over time. The most affected vehicles will be carburetor bikes; fuel-injected bikes face less impact. Ethanol causes moisture build-up leading to rust and damage of delicate parts like fuel pump impellers, rubber pipes, and injector components. The damage is gradual and delayed; immediate engine failures are unlikely. Regular use of fuel system cleaners that eliminate water and protect parts can delay damage significantly. It covers the myth that high octane petrol is needed for better mileage or power in normal engines; high octane mainly prevents knocking in high compression engines (sports bikes/cars). Practical advice includes not filling fuel during heavy rain to avoid moisture intake, avoiding overfilling or underfilling the tank especially if the vehicle isn’t regularly used, and insisting on fuel tank cleaning at least every six months. Using fuel system cleaners is now a necessity, not a luxury, to maintain engine performance with ethanol blended fuels. The speaker cautions against putting two-stroke oil in the fuel tank as some have suggested; it does not burn and can damage the engine. Overall, the video conveys that ethanol petrol use requires new maintenance habits to protect engine longevity in Indian climatic conditions.
