Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This specification co

3、vers the requirements for automotive fuel blends of ethanol and gasoline for use in ground vehiclesequipped with ethanol fuel blend flexible-fuel spark-ignition engines. Fuel produced to this specification contains 51 to 83 volume% ethanol. This fuel is for use in flexible-fuel vehicles and is somet

4、imes referred to at retail as “Ethanol Flex-Fuel.” Appendix X1discusses the significance of the properties specified.1.2 The vapor pressure of ethanol fuel blends is varied for seasonal climatic changes. Vapor pressure is increased at lowertemperatures to ensure adequate flexible-fuel vehicle operab

5、ility. Ethanol content and selection of hydrocarbon blendstock areadjusted by the blender to meet these vapor pressure requirements. Hydrocarbon blendstocks for meeting ethanol fuel blendsperformance requirements are unleaded gasoline, gasoline blendstocks for oxygenate blending (BOBs), natural gaso

6、line or otherhydrocarbons in the gasoline boiling range.1.3 This specification formerly covered Fuel Ethanol (Ed70-Ed85) for Automotive Spark-Ignition Engines, also knowncommercially as E85. The nomenclature “fuel ethanol” has been changed to “ethanol fuel blends” to distinguish this product fromden

7、atured fuel ethanol Specification D4806. To facilitate blending of ethanol fuel blends that meet seasonal vapor pressurerequirements, a new lower minimum ethanol content has been established.1.4 The United States government has established various programs for alternative fuels. Many of the definiti

8、ons of alternativefuel used by these programs may be more restrictive than the requirements of this specification. See 4.1.2.1 for additionalinformation on alternative fuels containing ethanol.1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are f

With regard to fuel propertiesincluding volatility, this specification can be more or less restrictive than DOE or EPA rules, regulations and waivers. To qualifyas an alternative fuel for federal f

35、leet use in the United States, the ethanol blend is required to meet the U.S. Department ofEnergys definition of alternative fuels, enacted under the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (Title III, Sec. 301). For ethanol, the Actdefines “alternative fuel” as a mixture containing denatured ethanol at a volume

36、of “85 percent or more (or such other percentage,but not less than 70 percent, as determined by the Secretary, by rule.).” Correcting for denaturant content, a blend of 70 to 85volume % denatured fuel ethanol contains 68 to 83 volume % ethanol as measured by Test Method D5501.
