What is E15E15 is a blend of gasoline and up to 15 vol ethanol
Prior to EPAs October waiver decision the amount of ethanol in motor vehicle gasoline was limited to
10 vol (E10) E10 was granted a waiver under Clean Air Act section 211(f)(4) more than 30 years
ago and is now ubiquitous in the marketplace making up over 90 of the US gasoline market
The primary source of ethanol is corn but other grains or biomass sources may be used as feed stocks
What Vehicles May Use E15
What Vehicles May NOT Use E15All motorcycleAll motorcycles
All vehicles with heavy-duty engines such as school buses transit buses and delivery
trucks All off-road vehicles such as boats and
snowmobiles All engines in off-road equipment such as
lawnmowers and chain saws All MY2000 and older cars light-duty
trucks and medium-duty passenger vehicles (SUVs)
Federal Legislation
Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007
Significantly increases the amount of biofuels such as ethanol to be used in
transportation fuel
EPA and DOT Move E10 and E15
Gas Blend
AAA
there are 169000 gas stations in the US and 20000 are selling E-15
AAA
Most auto and motorcycle manufactures will not honor warranties when the engine is damaged by
E-15 and the fuel providers do not seem to be standing behind their product
Motorcycle Industry Council
15 percent blend could affect engine durability and deterioration
Banned motorcycles from using the blendNo legal resource for blown out bike engines
due to the use of E15
Concerns from the AMA
E15 burns hotter than E10 creating potential engine damage especially in air cooled engines
and high performance water cooled enginesStreet and off road motorcycles and ATVs
Ethanol based fuels are hygroscopicAbsorbs moisture and can hold more water than
traditional fuels
AMA opposes EPA remedy
The EPA proposed a 4 gallon purchase requirement as a solution to dilute the
residual ethanol
Concerns from the AMA
Many motorcycle tanks dont hold four gallons making it impossible for riders
to legally fill their tanks
Why not just avoid buying E15
Potential for misfueling
Blender pumps contain multiple grades of gasoline dispensed through a single hose in a
single pump
Residual fuel left in the hose from the previous user inadvertently allows for cross
contamination with E15
Most motorists dont know the difference between E10 and regular gasoline

Index What is E15 What Vehicles May Use E15 What Vehicles May NOT Use E15 Ethanol - Federal Legislation EPA and DOT act by moving E10 and E15 gas blend Motorcycle Injury Council American Motorcycle Associations position AMA raises concerns with the EPA AMA raises concerns with the EPA Why not just avoid buying E15 Why is Testing important What YOU can DO Possible solutions HR 875 current status
Concerns from the AMA
E15 burns hotter than E10 creating potential engine damage especially in air cooled engines
and high performance water cooled enginesStreet and off road motorcycles and ATVs
Ethanol based fuels are hygroscopicAbsorbs moisture and can hold more water than
traditional fuels
AMA opposes EPA remedy
The EPA proposed a 4 gallon purchase requirement as a solution to dilute the
residual ethanol
Concerns from the AMA
Many motorcycle tanks dont hold four gallons making it impossible for riders
to legally fill their tanks
Why not just avoid buying E15
Potential for misfueling
Blender pumps contain multiple grades of gasoline dispensed through a single hose in a
single pump
Residual fuel left in the hose from the previous user inadvertently allows for cross
contamination with E15
Most motorists dont know the difference between E10 and regular gasoline
