I was going to post a thread on CDN Fuel in a few weeks under Mottorad
This all I know for certainty, apply as you will and argue as much as you want but I have fuel property data developed by SWRI.
As a service manager for a very large equipment manufacturer, I am seeing a ton, literally, of failures on exhaust after-treatment, gas or diesel, catalytic convertors, active resonator and more, like EGR valves. These engines are not oil burners.
I know, gas or diesel, in Canada, the fuel contains a bare minimum of 2% renewable resource. It can be anything from grain squeezings to animal fat squeezings and for all I know, it could be condensed human flatulence effluent. The "may contain %" label at the pump is a crock of .........
Almost all the failures I have seen with exhaust after-treatment have one thing in common. They be cooked like the Prime Rib Elk I BBQ'd two weeks ago when the BBQ caught fire.
I come back to the first thing in the exhaust system, the push portion that goes past the open thing that closes so we get the suck thing happening. If the fuel is cooking and coking the exhaust a foot away from the valve, what's the valve going through??
Next up in my back pocket, pictures of a 5 month old Ford truck with less than 25,000 km that is just having it's third engine being put in.
Only Master Yoda has even alluded to this, so I'll just throw it out in the open:
Might the valve damage have been caused by too much alcohol in the gas?
