6、s with ethanol as principal component which are used in motors designed to be run on ethanol. In general, such fuels are designated with the code E85. In accordance with the Biokraftstoffquotengesetz (Biofuels Quota Law) 4, the ethanol content of this fuel can be in the range between approximately 7
7、0 % (V/V) and approximately 86 % (V/V), depending on the seasons climatic conditions. NOTE For the purposes of this standard, % (m/m) and % (V/V) are used to represent the percentage by mass and the percentage by volume respectively. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indi

Particular attention shall be paid to the cleanliness of the containers in order to prevent contamination, for example by sulfur compounds or phosphorus (detergents). Du
18、ring sampling it shall be ensured that the sample does not absorb additional water from the atmosphere. It is highly recommended to rinse the sample containers (several times, where appropriate) with the product to be examined prior to sampling. Instead of glass bottles preferably PE (polyethylene),
19、 PP (polypropylene) or steel containers shall be used. For particular tests (e.g. determination of electrical conductivity) the specific information relating to sampling given in the relevant test standard shall be strictly adhered to. 4 Marking Ethanol fuel E85 at the service station shall be marke
20、d clearly and unambiguously in accordance with the specifications given in the national regulations. Corresponding regulations are found in the BImSchV 10 1 and the associated ordinance 2. 4 DIN 51625:2008-08 5 Requirements and test methods 5.1 General requirements Ethanol fuel E85 is presumed to be
21、 in compliance with the requirements of this standard if all properties described in 5.1 to 5.5 and all limits given in Tables 1 and 2 are adhered to. The limits apply to samples taken from a dispensing pump. In cases of dispute, the procedures for resolving the dispute described in DIN EN ISO 4259
22、(see 5.6), shall be used. For arbitration purposes, the biogenic origin of the ethanol used can be determined using the C-14 method (radiocarbon dating) 3. Because of the complex equipment and long measurement times it is, however, recommended that the use of this method be confined to cases of disp
23、ute where clarification cannot otherwise be achieved. 5.2 Dyes and markers The use of dyes and markers is allowed provided they do not cause harmful side effects. 5.3 Additives In order to improve the performance quality, the use of additives is allowed. Suitable fuel additives without known harmful
24、 side effects are allowed in the appropriate amount, to help to avoid deterioration of driveability and emissions control durability, provided that there is no interference with other clauses of this standard. Other technical means with equivalent effect may also be used. 5.4 Phosphorus, iron, manga
25、nese, lead In order to protect automotive catalyst systems, compounds containing phosphorus, iron, manganese or lead, or any other inorganic compound, shall not be included in ethanol fuel E85. 5.5 Climatically dependent requirements 5.5.1 Water tolerance Given the known potential for ethanol fuel E
26、85 to absorb water, suppliers shall ensure that no water segregation, in particular by the formation of condensate, occurs. NOTE The solubility of hydrocarbons in ethanol fuel E85 and in mixtures with unleaded petrol decreases as a result of falling temperatures and increasing water content. Phase s
27、eparation may have a negative effect on cold vehicle driveability and the driveability of vehicles which can be fuelled by either petrol or ethanol fuel E85. 5.5.2 Volatility requirements To meet hot and cold vehicle driveability requirements for Germany as a function of the prevalent climatic condi
28、tions, two volatility classes are defined in Table 2. Class A shall apply during summer, starting 1 May and ending 30 September. Class B shall apply during winter, starting 16 November and ending 15 March. Since logistics render it inevitable that the two classes will mix, the limits of class A or c
29、lass B shall be adhered to during the transition periods from 1 October to 15 November and from 16 March to 30 April. During the market launch phase up to 2011, the transition periods may be longer due to lower sales. If required, transition to winter shall take place earlier. 5 DIN 51625:2008-08 Ta

Therefore, the setting of the air/fuel mixture and the mixture temperature for E8
34、5 shall be adjusted. To achieve complete evaporation, a lower air quantity and a higher temperature are necessary. Further information can be found in DIN 51756-7. cDue to inadequate precision, the test method specified is unsuitable as an arbitration method. For this reason the test method will be
35、checked and a more suitable test method introduced as an alternative to predict the corrosion potential. 6 DIN 51625:2008-08 5.6 Precision and dispute 5.6.1 All test methods referred to in this standard include a precision statement.

The interpretation of the results shall be based on the precision of the test methods specified. 5.6.2 In cases of dispute concerning sulfur content, DIN EN 15485 or DIN EN 15486 shall be used.
