Description: Genuine Walbro Ethanol and UV Resistant 188-570-1 Primer Bulb
Editorial: Walbro's new Ethanol and UV resistant primer bulbs have been specifically developed
for use with higher ethanol blends and to protect against phase separation in fuel.
Made with proprietary materials designed to remediate the problems caused by direct
sunlight and aggressive fuel additives commonly found in today's fuels. Ethanol
E10, a fuel mixture of 10% ethanol and 90% petrol, is commonly found at petrol
stations. The ethanol found inside of fuel blends pose problems as the engines are
unable to compensate for the increased heat levels, decreased lubrication and
increased corrosive effects associated with a higher alcohol content. The
undesirable result could be engine damage. Water also becomes an issue with ethanol
blends. The fuel mixtures naturally hold 0.5% water in suspension, but any increase
in this percentage causes “phase separation”, whereby the water/ethanol mix
falls out of its suspension and descends to the bottom of the fuel tank. It’s
true that all gasoline is susceptible to the ill-effects of changes in weather and
moisture content, but ethanol makes the problem even worse. Continued phase
separation negatively impacts fuel systems and damages engine parts, especially air
purge bulbs. However, an ethanol-resistant air purge bulb can mitigate the harmful
effects of ethanol to drive better engine performance and longevity. Safeguard the
performance of your small engine equipment and extend its life by switching to
Walbro’s new ethanol compliant purge bulbs.
