Expert clarifies whether the ethanol actually has the power to remove carbon deposits left by gasoline inside engine cylinders.
A common question among drivers is about the cleaning capacity of ethanol. Many question whether ethanol can eliminate the carbonization generated by gasoline in the combustion chamber. Professor Fernando Landulfo, technical consultant for the magazine O Mecânico and professor of engineering at FMU, clarifies this question.
The central question, sent by a reader named Rogério, was direct. He wanted to know if the ethanol effectively cleans carbonization caused by gasoline inside the cylinders of the engine.
Direct answer: ethanol cleaning the combustion chamber is a myth
According to Professor Fernando Landulfo, the answer is clear: no. The ethanol does not clean carbonization caused by gasoline specifically inside the combustion chamber.

Although it does not clean the combustion chamber, fuel can have another function. The professor explains that, according to some lines of thought, ethanol helps dissolve certain impurities. These would be deposits left by gasoline in the fuel lines and injector nozzles. However, he emphasizes that this action does not occur inside the combustion chamber.
Fuel alternation
There is also discussion about the practice of alternating fuels in Flex-fuel cars. Some automakers, in fact, recommend this alternation of ethanol and gasoline in their owner's manuals. However, Professor Landulfo and the team at O Mecânico magazine warn that this is not a rule that applies to all Flex-fuel vehicles. Each manufacturer follows its own development line and specifications.
In summary, the ethanol does not clean the carbonization of combustion chamber. Its possible solvent action can benefit other parts of the power supply system. For the correct use of ethanol and gasoline in Flex cars, the main recommendation is to follow the instructions in the vehicle owner's manual.
The national team's red shirt has no political connotation. Okay then.
Die, that's it!
Go to **** with your myth that solves it
The national team's red shirt has nothing to do with politics. Yes, I know.
They should wear the MST shirt, since it is a performance on the field.
Hahahaha I wonder if Brazil wearing the MST shirt will get beaten up? Like land invaders get beaten up? They won't get past the first game.
Not to mention that we will have several invasions on the field too… by the organized MST fans… they will invade and take over
It is not because a mob dressed in green and yellow shirts invaded Congress, the STF and the Planalto Palace that another group wearing red shirts will carry out any invasion.
That really isn't the parameter, but rather the history of invasions by the reds to these same buildings that never led to anything, but when it was, according to your words, "a mob dressed in green and yellow shirts", then things changed, they immediately said it was a coup, but a coup without weapons and without the support of the army, is that possible?
The plan to kill the elected president and vice president was going to be a tickle. “coup without weapons”… stop repeating the phrase from zap
Who wants to kill someone who is already dead.
Your thesis is very clever... if it were delivered in a sanatorium 😱 LOL. How could the protesters kill the president if the demonstration was on Sunday, where everyone knows that the buildings are empty? Do you have a brain?
They are so ****, it's funny. Can you imagine if the defense of the **** used these conversations of the **** on zap? LOL
You made a very **** comparison but what can you do? You must have a pet **** lol..
Only a **** can Compare Real and Fair Labor and Union Demonstrations to an Invasion Articulated for a Coup d'Etat, even in a Climate of Celebrations such as Victory, since This Coup had been Proclaimed since the Taking of Power in 2018 and throughout the Mandate with Threats of Self-Coup with Disruption of Democratic Institutional Orders, which did not Go Forward Due to the “Resistance” of the Population and Institutions and Also for having at the front a Cowardly Deserter Soldier-Captain since his Unhappy Subsistence as an Obsessive Terrorist Delinquent; proving until his last days of Power and Subsequent moments, on the Way to the Dungeon.

Where did you graduate, you ****?? In the school that shouts “back off ****”?????
It can only be!!! In order for this land to be saved, it would have to start all over again!!!!
Unhappy…
Yeah. With a defense like that of yours, it's so easy that all the **** will be acquitted lol. Boy! You're a genius.
Behind all this, who was the mastermind? 🤔🤔
Because they have already done this several times. They destroyed Congress in 2017... farms like the orange farms in SP... all of this with impunity.
They already invaded and vandalized public buildings a long time ago, have you forgotten these facts?
And it's obvious that they were infiltrated in this invasion and that they were the ones who vandalized and even received a pat on the back from the commanders guarding the buildings. Would they be congratulated for the successful action?
The scam is there, only those who don't want to see it don't see it
I think you forgot about 2017 when the MST turned the Planalto esplanade into a war zone, they set fire to several ministries, but no one was convicted, it's normal that **** has no memory.
I have no political party, but I will be realistic in telling you all that the glory years of the Brazilian team, especially up until 1970, were when they started wearing the striped sugar lollipop shirt. Then, not long after, the Brazilian team also wore red, blue, white, yellow and, worst of all, almost black shirts. The colors don't matter. The important thing is that they play beautifully and win titles, because if it's based on the color of the shirt, they've only embarrassed us lately with this little yellow shirt.
A mob dressed in green and black that invaded the buildings of the three branches of government, but let it be clear that they were commanded by the reds. No one has any doubts about that.
No, because you already did. Just get informed.
Hahaha I've never laughed so much hahaha
****, being ****, insane and clueless, the article is about fuel, then the idiot comes talking about the color of shirts, if it were pink, most people would also complain, because that's all they know how to do, complain about everything and everyone, except the **** who planned murders.
True, no one talks about who planned Bolsonaro's assassination?
****-se
There you go, the crazy PTSTA from hell has arrived lol
No. It has to do with the dwarfmental
The yellow one doesn't either, hey!
Bulls need something to do in life, so they stop being annoying.
And the **** idolaters of **** are only good for pulling carts, they have no other use, don't wait, they are good for spreading fake news and giving **** ratings.
In the past, they said that putting kerosene (which is no longer manufactured) in diesel would clean the injector nozzles and prevent them from freezing in the winter. Is that true or not? I did that myself.
I BELIEVE THAT ALCOHOL HELPS TO PRESERVE SINCE NINE NEVER DIES THAT PLAGUE
In the past, my mechanic recommended putting a liter of kerosene in an alcohol tank, at least once a year,
