Big truth about E20 petrol: Will your car’s engine get damaged? Companies gave this clarification

Are you also worried that putting E20 petrol in your car will damage the engine? The rumors circulating on social media for some time now have created fear in the minds of common vehicle owners. Meanwhile, leading automobile companies like Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Tata and Mahindra have come together and given a ‘clean chit’ to E20 petrol (20% ethanol mixed petrol). The companies clearly say that if your vehicle is ready for E20 fuel, it will not harm your vehicle at all, rather it is a better step for the environment. What is the effect of E20 on petrol and engine? E20 petrol means that it contains 80% petrol and 20% ethanol mixed in it. Ethanol is a bio-fuel made from sugarcane and other agricultural products, which significantly reduces pollution. Automobile experts say that old vehicles which are not made for this may definitely face some technical problems, but the engine and fuel system of the vehicle manufacturers selling E20 compatible vehicles have been designed keeping this fuel in mind. Therefore, it is very important to check your car’s manual. Why did the companies give clean chit? All major automakers have clarified that using E20 petrol will not only maintain sustainability in fuel consumption, but will also help save India’s foreign exchange reserves. Companies like Maruti and Hyundai have made necessary changes in the hardware of their vehicles so that the corrosive properties of ethanol do not affect the engine. Companies believe that customers do not need to be afraid, they should just keep in mind that they use fuel as per the capacity of their vehicle. If your car is certified for E20, you can get E20 at the petrol pump without any hesitation.
