Installing blender pumps at gas stations to deliver higher blends of ethanol-enhanced fuels

PENSACOLA, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, September 9, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Bobby Likis, automotive expert and host of nationally syndicated car-talk program “Bobby Likis Car Clinic,” shares the mic with Todd Garner, Managing Partner and Chief Executive Officer, Protec Fuel, on Saturday, September 10, at 10:41a ET.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved E15 (15% ethanol) fuel for use in all cars and light trucks, model year 2001 and newer. Across the U.S. transportation fleet, this accounts from more than eighty percent (80%) of vehicles on the road today, and that percentage will rapidly increase as consumers buy newer model year vehicles. Additionally, with the manufacture of automotive engines designed to capitalize on the high-octane, high-performance properties of ethanol above E15, the challenge is to build the infrastructure to support increased consumer demand.

The market will look for leadership in bringing blender pumps on-line at gas stations across the nation. Blender pumps are the mechanism that allow the consumer to choose the mixture of gasoline and ethanol/biofuel for maximized performance of their individual vehicle. Since 2006, Protec Fuel specializes in turn-key solutions for building the blender pump infrastructure and beyond--from site selection to marketing after build to long-term pricing to save the station and its consumers money.

Says Garner, "Protec Fuel is a leader in supplying higher ethanol blends and installing blender pumps at retail and fleet sites throughout the U.S. I look forward to talking with Bobby and informing his listeners and viewers about the benefits of higher ethanol blends and how Protec Fuel is expanding the biofuel infrastructure.”

Likis reflects, “Increased numbers of outlets pumping higher blends of ethanol enable station operators to offer their customers a higher-octane, cleaner-burning fuel at a lower price.” He adds, “I want the drivers in the Car Clinic audience to be fully informed about the advantages of fuel with higher ethanol blends and the necessity of expanding that availability. Todd has the experience and expertise to do just that, and thanks to the Renewable Fuels Association, he’ll be joining me on air to share it with consumers.”
