    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This Technical Specification specifies requirements and test methods for marketed and delivered Ethanol (E85) automotive fuel. It is applicable to Ethanol (E85) automotive fuel for use in spark ignition engine vehicles designed to run on Ethanol (E85). Ethanol (E85) automotive fuel is a mixture of nominally 85 % (V/V) ethanol complying to EN 15376 and petrol complying to EN 228, but also including the possibility of having different \'seasonal grades\' containing more than 50 % (V/V) ethanol. NOTE For the purposes of this document, the terms \'% (m/m)\' and \'% (V/V)\' are used to represent respectively the mass fraction and the volume fraction.
