ETHANOL MOTORCYCLE FUELS AND STAR TRON®

E10 / ETHANOL FUEL

Ethanol is an alcohol made from corn, sugar cane and other grains. Gasoline and ethanol blends can be used in your motorcycle if the ethanol content does not exceed 10%. Ethanol content of 10% is also known as E10. When blended with gasoline, it increases octane, reduces carbon monoxide emissions, and provides an alternative to petroleum-based fuels.

The Star Tron® Ethanol Story

The sale of ethanol blended fuel, commonly referred to as E-10 gas, is on the rise in the US as more states are mandating its use. Also promoting the growth of E-10 is the need to phase out the current additive MTBE which has been found to contaminate ground water supplies. E-10 gas has been in use for many years and, with smart fuel management, most of its negative issues can be resolved. 

4 MAIN PROBLEMS WITH E10 / ETHANOL FUEL

BY STAR TRON®

PROBLEM 1:

DEBRIS IN FUEL

Star Tron®'s enzymes break down debris into sub-micron sized particles that can be easily burned during the combustion process, restoring full performance.

PROBLEM 2:

EXCESSIVE WATER IN THE FUEL AND PHASE SEPERATION

Star Tron®'s enzyme formula reduces interfacial surface tension between fuel and water. The molecular cluster size is greatly reduced, allowing more water to be dispersed throughout the fuel. These sub-micron sized droplets are safely eliminated as the engine operates. Star Tron® treated fuel helps prevent phase seperation by allowing more water to be burned off than with untreated fuel, drying out the tank and preventing water buildup.

PROBLEM 3:

ETHANOL FUELS BREAK DOWN QUICKLY

Star Tron® is a powerful fuel stabilizer which helps prevent fuel breakdown for up to two years. This results in easier starts and prevents pinging and knocking. Star Tron® improves octane levels of sub-standard, non-spec or old fuel and in many cases can rejuvenate state fuel, restoring it to serviceable condition.

PROBLEM 4:

ETHANOL CAUSES LOST POWER, PERFORMANCE AND DECREASED FUEL ECONOMY

Star Tron®'s enzyme formula helps to break apart large clusters of fuel molecules, creating more surface area. This allows additional oxygen to react during combustion, which results in a more complete burn of the fuel, improved fuel economy, engine power, throttle response and reduced toxic emissions. Star Tron® removes carbon deposits, keeping your engine clean and operating at peak performance.
