Adding Ethanol to Pertalite Fuel to Increase Usage Time and Reduce Exhaust Gas Emissions in Vehicles. This research aims to determine the effect of adding ethanol to pertalite on fuel usage time in certain variations. To determine the amount of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon exhaust emissions when adding ethanol to pertalite fuel. This type of research is experimental. By adding ethanol to pertalite using different variations. The testing process is to set the engine speed at 2000 RPM then enter fuel variations, by calculating the time spent in 10 mL and calculating the exhaust gas released using a Gas Analyzer. The research results show that using ethanol in E5 or a mixture of 5 mL can reduce fuel consumption by 0.423 mL compared to using pure pertalite. By mixing ethanol into pertalite, it can eliminate carbon monoxide exhaust emissions from 0.08% to 0.00% and hydrocarbons from 25 ppm to 0 ppm at RPM 2000.
