    Hence the need for knock sensors but it is pretty easy and cheap to do at the factory, these are known as Flex-Fuel models in Brazil where E10 is the minimum blend going all the way to 100% ethanal derived from sugar cane.

    Correct on all counts but,
    It does stop the idiot kids killing themselves!
    BTW 98 RO fuel is also un-sniffable as it makes the person get violent vomits before any aromatics have an effect, unfortunately the powers that be don't subsidies 98, they do OPAL.

    As a matter of interest, after 15 years of selling OPAL Doomadgee went back to selling regular ULP, within a month we had problems returning, been back on OPAL for awhile now.

    Paul, I went into Aurukun and sucked all of their ULP out of the ground, then replaced it with OPAL (picked up from Birkenhead, Adelaide). I was as popular as a pork chop in a mosque.

    I also heard of a young fellow in Alice! who suffocated himself, trying to get high on OPAL.

    Hi,
    Even in Hobart.
    Had to photograph the burn areas on two young teens after the petrol they were sniffing under a house ignited from a candle.
    Only time I witnessed it in 40 odd years.
    Cheers

    5% ethanol, AFAIK not available in Australia. V8 Supercars use E85, 85% ethanol.

    Yeah, figured it was 5% just never heard of it. E85 is available at some servos. Just had another check for mine and I believe I can use E10 provided it has an octane rating of 95 but most of the E10 I have seen is only 94.
