IIT Kanpur Studies Show E20 Petrol's Effects on Vehicle Performance
IIT Kanpur's automobile research laboratories conducted live tests on E20 petrol's impact on vehicle performance, including BS6 car engines and motorcycles. The studies monitored engine parameters under various conditions, finding that ethanol-blended fuel produced fewer carbon deposits compared to conventional petrol. Researchers observed no adverse effects on motorcycle engines after E20 petrol use, with ongoing analysis of engine components and fuel tanks to assess performance and potential damage.
