Hyperfuels Releases Ethanol-free Gasoline

Houston-based performance fuels distributor Hyperfuels announces its newest product to market, an ethanol-free gasoline made with renewable Isobutanol. The fuel which was previously only available in Texas is now on its way to areas of the country that are covered by EPA’s non-attainment rules or have opted-in to use oxygenated gasoline typically made with ethanol.

Gasoline made with Isobutanol avoids issues with ethanol and has the following advantages:

• Low vapor pressure eliminates “vapor-lock” and hard start conditions
• Isobutanol has more energy or btu’s than ethanol so power is noticeably increased
• Can be used as a storage fuel as it is not prone to breakdown over time
• Does not mix with water and is not “hygroscopic” like ethanol (means it does not attract moisture into the fuel)
• Available in regular, midgrade and premium octane.
• Available in gallons, pails, drums, totes and bulk.

The Marine Retailers Association of the Americas has said that as boat owners and marinas enjoy the summer boating season they need to know that studies conclude that ethanol negatively impacts fuel filters, carburetors and more. In addition, ethanol is hygroscopic, which means it attracts water. When water from condensation forms in a boat’s fuel tank the ethanol attracts and absorbs the condensation, causing engine power issues from water contamination and fuel phase separation.

The timeliness of Hyperfuels’ introduction of an ethanol-free premium gasoline made with Isobutanol comes as the marine industry focuses on addressing the congressionally-mandated Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) requiring renewable fuel to be blended into the gasoline supply by 2022. Isobutanol is available from renewable sources and allows the mixture to qualify for the RFS.

Hyperfuels gasoline can be purchased from  Amazon under the trade name, PurFuelsTM; online at www.hyperfuels.com, or as wholesale bulk product.
