I ran ethanol fuels in lawn mowers, a 1961 Farmall CUB. NO matter how I conditioned the fuel it fouled the fuel system whether is was the carburetor or the plugs. I switched to non-ethanol and the fouling problems went away. I went back and forth on my Model A. I run non-ethanol fuel. I have experienced improved performance. I will run ethanol fuel if I cannot get the non-ethanol. I only put MMO in the fuel once and I did not notice what it did or what it did not do. For winter I fill up the tank with non-ethanol fuel. I took the car out of a 5 month slumber and it started right up again using non-ethanol fuel.
