STREET COVER

One person can make change. A community can make a difference. The Bay Area Riders Forum is one such community, thanks in part to Dennis “Budman” Kobza.

PAGE 18. Maybe fall touring is a cliché, but we’re OK with that because, well, fall touring is awesome— especially in North Georgia.

DIRT COVER

Colleen Millsaps knows a thing or two about raising a fast kid. She shares her knowledge with those who attend her training facility in Cairo, Ga.

PAGE 24. While the U.S. team might have come up short at the ISDE, Ryan Sipes didn’t, becoming the first U.S. rider to win the individual overall.

ETHANOL DEBATE HEATS UP

Don’t Be Fueled By E15

What lights up AMA social media whenever something is posted about it? The issue of ethanol in motor fuel.

Despite the passion this topic stirs up, many may still not be aware of its relevance to motorcyclists. Just what is ethanol, and what is the issue about anyway?

into the fuel we use. The EPA is expected to publish a rule by the end of November that will lead to more widespread distribution of E15. This means that E15 will become more and more common and E10 (which most modern motorcycles are designed to use) may become harder to find.

Corn ethanol is a type of biofuel made from corn. Biofuels are any energy source made from a living organism, such as a plant.

A government mandate called the Renewable Fuel Standard was initiated by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and extended and expanded by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. It requires increasing amounts of renewable fuels such as ethanol to be blended into the fuel we buy at the gas pump.

The RFS requires transportation fuel sold in the United States to contain a minimum volume of renewable fuels. Under this program, fuel with 10 percent ethanol content, which is known as E10, has virtually replaced E0, or fuel with no ethanol content, in the marketplace.

Congress developed the RFS to reduce greenhouse gases, expand the nation’s renewable fuels sector and reduce our nation’s dependence upon foreign oil. While these are certainly laudable goals, the policy ignores the roughly 22 million motorcycles and ATVs currently in use in this country because ethanol can wreak havoc on engines not designed for its use.

Corrosion, swollen or dissolved seals and gaskets, and heatdamaged engine parts are all possible. That’s why E15 (fuel with 15 percent ethanol) is not approved for use in motorcycles by the Environmental Protection Agency—which establishes the ethanol volume requirements—and why its use can void your warranty.

Perhaps you are thinking, “I just won’t use it.” If the EPA gets its way, you may not have a choice.

Because the RFS requires more and more renewable fuels to be forced into the marketplace each year, the only way to achieve the required volume is to blend higher percentages of ethanol

Just as the proliferation of E10 has pushed E0 almost completely out of the marketplace—which caused great concern among vintage bike enthusiasts—it is only a matter of time before E15 will do the same thing to E10. If it is available at all, motorcyclists may have to pay a premium for gas with less ethanol content.

The EPA is also proposing federal grants and “contract mechanisms” to increase the amount of higher-than-E10 ethanol blended fuels into the marketplace and the U.S. Department of Agriculture recently unveiled a $100 million plan to double the number of higher-ethanol-blend fuel pumps. This grant program will increase the number of blender pumps in the market, which will increase the risk of inadvertently misfueling with E15 leftover in the hose from a previous user.

When the AMA raised concerns about the potential for misfueling, the government’s mitigation plan was to mandate a 4-gallon minimum fuel purchase—more fuel than most motorcycle fuel tanks can hold! You really can’t make this stuff up. The rule was eventually revised following our complaints, but it is still easily misunderstood, misapplied or ignored by state governments and producers, distributors and vendors.

We’ve since pushed back even harder. When the EPA issued its proposed rule in May, the AMA’s comments were submitted along with a petition signed by nearly 30,000 people who opposed the E15 mandate.

We suspected an overwhelming number of Americans agreed with us, and now we have the data to prove it. A poll commissioned by the AMA revealed that 70 percent said they oppose increasing the amounts of ethanol blended into gasoline, while 78 percent said they had very serious concerns about E15 use. Those currently seeking the highest office in the land might want to take notice as voters are less likely to support a presidential candidate who supports the ethanol mandate.

Now is the time of year when those of us who live in climates that don’t allow for year ‘round riding must begin to think about winterizing our motorcycles and ATVs. It is important to remember that any amount of ethanol in your fuel can cause damage if it is left to sit in a gas tank, fuel line or carburetor for even a relatively short period of time. Repair costs associated with ethanol damage can be significant.

There is no doubt that motorcycle manufacturers are working on models that will run on fuel with increased amounts of ethanol. But even if all of the motorcycle manufacturers certified their machines to run on E15 tomorrow, there are many, many vintage and current model motorcycles that were not engineered to accommodate any ethanol in gas, and they should not be forced to run on gas with increasing amounts of ethanol. The AMA will continue to stay on top of this important issue for as long as it takes, and your voice is encouraged and welcomed in the discussion. Let us know your thoughts at www.facebook.com/ americanmotorcyclist, and on Twitter and Instagram at @AMA_Riding and @AMA_Rights. You also can join the conversation by using the hashtag #RFSBroken.
