Cheap Gas KILLS Engines (And How To Fix It)

The fuel where you live is generally delivered in the same pipeline, so does that mean that all the fuel in your area is the same? Well, that fuel from the pipeline is NOT finished fuel. At the fuel terminal additives and Ethanol are added to make the finished fuel, and the amount and type of additives varies from brand to brand. The Ethanol content also varies, so we dig into all of these details with retired fuels engineer Chip Hewette to give you the facts about fuels. Here are the links to our previous videos on fuels, ethanol and additives: Ethanol Fuels -    • ETHANOL: Higher OCTANE, Higher RISK?   Premium Fuel -    • Can Premium Fuel REDUCE Engine WEAR?   Fuel Additives -    • Motor Oil & Fuel Additives: Just a WASTE o...   Top Tier Fuel -    • 19X Difference In Deposits! [Engine Test R...   To learn about used oil analysis, check out https://www.speediagnostix.com For a deeper dive into the science of lubrication, check out my good friend Rafe Britton's channel ‪@LubricationExplained‬ To learn more about my dad, check out his interview with Dale Earnhardt Jr:    • How Lake Speed's Journey Went From Karting...   Who is the  @themotoroilgeek  ? I'm a Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers Certified Lubrication Specialist and Oil Monitoring Analyst (I've maintained both of those for over a decade). I also worked for Joe Gibbs Racing for 12 years as their lubricant specialist. During that time, we worked with Wix Filters (one of our sponsors) to test and develop filters for our race engines. We also worked with Lubrizol and Chevron-Phillips Chemical to test and develop oils for our race cars. Following that, I was the head of R&D for Driven Racing Oil. During that time, I formulated and tested over 50 products. We also worked with Cummins, Comp Cams, Oak Ridge National Labs and General Motors on various R&D products. Those efforts are recorded in peer reviewed white papers published by SAE International and ACS Sustainable Chemistry journals. I also own and operate SPEEDiagnostix, which provides used oil analysis. #motoroil #automobile #engine #fuel #petrol #ethanol #ethanolfuel
