Abstract

Water tolerance of ethanol-petrol blends of various compositions (ethanol, ethers, aromatics, olefins) was investigated. Tempe-ratures of haze formation as well as separation of petrol into two phases were measured experimentally. Simulation of long term storage stability of ethanol-petrol blends was also performed.
