Re: Public Service Announcement: Avoiding Ethanol
It's always good practice to avoid ethanol gas for many reasons. If you drive your early Ford weekly, you'll likely have no problems.
On my small engines, Stihl chainsaws, string trimmer, leaf blower, ethanol gas will destroy the carburetor every year.
On my zero turn lawn mower, Kohler engine, the engine will start almost immediately with pure gas. If I fill up with ethanol, it cranks longer before starting.
I realize that it's very difficult to source pure gas for many folks. I keep 200-300 gallons of pure gas on the farm for all carburetor engines.
