Results from a determination of the saturated vapor pressures (SVPs) of 5-85 wt.% EtOH blends with various individual hydrocarbons are reported. A mathematical model for calculating the SVP of E30 bioethanol fuel is developed based on these results. Only the fuel hydrocarbon composition determined by chromatography can be used to calculate the SVP of bioethanol fuel by this model.
