Va. Company Brings E85 Ethanol to Your Gas Tank
Overview
Ethanol is making waves in Saluda, Va., thanks to XcelPlus International Inc. This company has developed the FlexTek, a small device that allows ordinary cars and trucks to use E85 ethanol fuel.
The Rise of Ethanol
Ethanol fuel stations, a common sight in Brazil where the FlexTek originated, are now emerging across the United States. Both independent and major fuel suppliers are swapping out mid-grade gasoline for E85. The shift is driven by a desire to reduce reliance on the Middle East and benefit from ethanol's cleaner-burning properties.
FlexTek: An Innovative Solution
Previously, ethanol was mainly used by factory-built flex-fuel vehicles, which are relatively rare, often limited to fleets and municipalities. FlexTek changes this by enabling almost any vehicle to run on E85, gasoline, or a blend.
"Our solution is unique. We offer the only system that converts a standard vehicle into a flex-fuel vehicle while safeguarding the engine from acids formed by burning E85," explains Bill R. Smith, president of XcelPlus.
How FlexTek Works
The FlexTek kit, available in the U.S., includes a controller unit that installs easily in most modern vehicles without modifications. It also comes with engine protection chemicals that coat internal engine parts to prevent wear and oxidation.
XcelPlus has been selling engine protection chemicals for over 30 years, validated by NASA and the U.S. Department of Energy. The FlexTek system is backed by a warranty covering both the device and the vehicle's engine.
Development and Partnership
FlexTek technology was originally developed by AGE Technologies in Brazil, now acquired by XcelPlus. Although other companies have attempted to replicate this technology, their versions have resulted in performance issues and engine damage.
Given its reliability, Hyundai Motor Company is testing FlexTek for its factory-built flex-fuel cars, with trials underway in Australia as Hyundai looks to enter the Brazilian flex-fuel market.
In summary, XcelPlus International Inc. is at the forefront of making ethanol a viable fuel option for more drivers, promoting both environmental and economic benefits.
