New Delhi : Chief Economic Adviser (CEA) to Central Govt. By Ananth Nageswaran 'E-20' It is accepted that the use of petrol causes damage to vehicles. He has recommended resuming the sale of 'E-10' petrol for older two-wheelers.

Ananth Nageswaran's role is different. V. According to Ananth Nageswaran, there are currently around 8 crore old bikes and scooters in the country, which run on old carburetor technology.

The big problem is that cars with these old carburettors do not run well on E-20 petrol. Ethanol has a high oxygen content. Older cars cannot automatically adjust to this new mixture of air and petrol, causing the engine to overheat quickly and excessively. Not only this, the use of E-20 petrol poses a risk of gradual melting or deterioration of rubber pipes and internal parts of the vehicle.

Reports of chloride and water being mixed with E20 petrol have raised concerns with the government. Opposition parties have also raised questions on this. Because when water and chloride are mixed in the fuel, it is harmful to the vehicle, as it can cause corrosion in the fuel pump and engine parts. This is why the government has taken this issue seriously and has directly investigated it.
