Default Re: Ethanol Defense

Interesting to me how many additives contain petroleum distillates that we can buy for a fraction of the cost of "special" miracles in a can. A small amount of diesel added to gasoline seems to inhibit vapor lock as well, and is said to provide some defense against exhaust valve recession. Gasoline containing ethanol runs on the lean side, it runs "OK", the real problem though is it does not store well, and also tends to dissolve accumulated sludge and sediment, is hard on conventional rubber components and aluminum castings.
