In recent years, the addition of ethanol to petrol has become a common practice, promoted as a way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and decrease reliance on fossil fuels. However, this seemingly eco-friendly solution has brought about unforeseen consequences, particularly for portable petrol generators, petrol-operated compressors, and small stationary engines. Ethanol significantly damages these crucial machines, especially targeting carburettors.
The Ethanol Challenge
Ethanol, which is commonly added to petrol in the form of E10 (10% ethanol, 90% petrol), has been found to cause significant harm to the components of small engines. One of the primary issues lies in its hygroscopic nature, meaning it absorbs water from the air. This water-ethanol mixture can lead to corrosion, oxidation, and the formation of deposits within the carburettor, ultimately clogging the delicate passages and jets. As a result, engines may experience poor performance, difficulty starting, rough idling, and even complete failure.
Introducing Gasgen Technologies’ Dual-Fuel Carburettors
In the face of this ethanol-induced threat, Gasgen Technologies has developed a revolutionary solution – the dual-fuel carburettor. Gasgen specifically designed these innovative carburettors to ease the damaging effects of ethanol while offering seamless operation with both petrol and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). What also sets Gasgen Technologies apart is their unwavering confidence in the quality and durability of their product, evident in their unlimited warranty.
Benefits of Converting to Gasgen Technologies’ Dual-Fuel Carburettors
- Protection from Ethanol Damage: By converting to Gasgen Technologies’ dual-fuel carburettors, users can safeguard their engines from the harmful effects of ethanol, ensuring the best performance and longevity.
- Cost Savings: Over time, users experience significant savings on carburettor repairs and replacements due to reduced maintenance costs associated with ethanol-related damage, quickly recovering the upfront investment in a dual-fuel conversion kit.
- Reduced Downtime: With Gasgen Technologies’ reliable dual-fuel carburettors, downtime due to engine issues is minimised, allowing users to maximise productivity and efficiency.
In conclusion, the increase of ethanol in petrol poses a significant threat to the reliability and performance of small engines. For those looking to protect their portable petrol generators, petrol-operated compressors, and small stationary engines from ethanol-related damage, the Gasgen Technologies’ dual fuel conversion kit offers a comprehensive and effective solution. With its unparalleled warranty, economic benefits, and improved engine protection, Gasgen Technologies is leading the way in ensuring the lifespan and performance of small engines in the face of the ethanol menace.
In addition to the mechanical benefits of less servicing and prolonged engine lifespan, operating your engine or generator on LPG (gas) can be an enormous cost saver for customers that are relying on petrol to power their loadshedding generators. LPG burns cleaner and is a lot cheaper than petrol or diesel. Of which, be sure to keep an eye on the rising costs of petrol that are due to be announced next month.
