About the document

This study forms part of the Government's response to the 2005 Biofuels Taskforce report. The purpose of this study was to:

• Obtain an assessment, based on an experimental study, of the suitability of vehicles in the current Australian fleet to operate on E5 and E10 ethanol blends
• Obtain accurate and reliable information which could be used to inform future policies relating to ethanol blend fuels, including labelling requirements

Further information on Ethanol is available in the Fuel Quality section of this web site.
