Does EPA have curves showing the effects of different oxygenate levels on the resulting T50/T90?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help. The Agency has developed no such curves. However, since the Complex Model requires the use of E200 and E300 instead of T50 and T90, the effects of different oxygenate levels on E200 and E300 can be back-calculated
