Default Re: Public Service Announcement: Avoiding Ethanol

Your sitting a a stop light, the car ahead of you starts to pull away, what looks like water trickles out the tail pipe. Its water and other corrosive chemicals. Guy brings me his weed eater to fix. He just bought it a month ago so I asked him what fuel he runs? He say the cheapest he could find, we pull the carb apart and it looks like it's been full of saltwater for years. Sorry guys. I've been doing auto and small engine most of my life and I see the real thing day in and day out, your fuel and exhaust systems are the most vulnerable. If your vehicle was built before 1980 put in a tank of non E and check your mileage then do the exact same rout with a tank 10 per E and see how you do. I have a restored 68 F100 with a 390. It will not run smooth on ethanol period. Put in regular non E smooth as glass. Tim
