What changes do car owners need to make when using E10 gasoline?

From June 1st, gas stations nationwide will begin selling E10 gasoline. To protect car engines and avoid unnecessary problems, users need to proactively change some of their previous driving habits.

How should car usage habits change when switching to E10 gasoline?

Gas stations nationwide will begin selling E10 gasoline from June 1st and will stop selling conventional gasoline. To ensure optimal engine performance and fuel efficiency, users need to change some habits when using this type of fuel.

One important habit to note is that you shouldn't leave your car parked for too long after filling the tank with E10 gasoline. Due to ethanol's tendency to absorb moisture from the air, leaving the car idle for extended periods can cause moisture to accumulate, separate into layers, and reduce fuel quality.

Next, the habit of overfilling the fuel tank needs to be changed. Ethanol expands, so when the tank is overfilled, the fuel can overflow into the vapor recovery system, creating high pressure inside the tank. In the long run, this can affect the emissions control system on some newer car models.

Choosing reputable gas stations with a stable customer base will ensure better fuel quality compared to smaller, independent gas stations. In theory, the storage process for E10 gasoline is very strict, so continuous fuel circulation will prevent long-term storage, which can degrade fuel quality.
