I think this "Alcohol gas problem" is way over stated. I have used the 10% Alcohol gas since it came out with no problems in my Flathead V8, Cessna 85, 100, 145, Lycoming 150 Hp, numerous tractors, lawn mowers, chain saws and smaller engines with no problems. My only problem was when lead was removed I was suckered into using some of the "Insted of Lead " product that a while jelled up in the float chamber carbs. I have many times allowed alcohol gas to remain for over a year and had no problem. Beats me why I am so lucky.
