Re: Make your ethanol-free gas!
Has anyone tried the new Gibbs brand Carb Defender yet - it is an additive to counter ethanol . It seems pricey at $10 per 8oz bottle - though 1 bottle is supposed to treat 10 gal

Re: Make your ethanol-free gas!
Wow. That product should be an excellent treatment to prevent that ugly swelling and stretching you see happen to otherwise good leather wallets.

However fuel containing ethanol cannot be shipped through pipelines as the ethanol will absorb any water in the pipeline and now you will have contaminated fuel. |

Re: Make your ethanol-free gas!
G.M.
Through the years I have worked on polluted sites hauling away dirty dirt to a asphalt plant where like you said it was rum through the Blast furnace Then we took it to a landfill to use for cover. The real shame is that & it happen in several cases.the site becommes clean the moment the $$$$ drys up. One job in particular I left with my load the area reeked of raw gas. Two Hr. round trip, got back and although the smell was still there the site was given a clean bill of health.And with that they sent us home with only a part day's work. So to solve the problem they built low income houses on top of it, GO FIGURE!!!!!!! |

Re: Make your ethanol-free gas!
This adds $1.50 per gallon to a tank of gas. G.M.

Re: Make your ethanol-free gas!
Sounds like killing a mouse with a sledgehammer.
Is anyone prepared to do this experiment with 15 or more gallons for a tankful? Last edited by Mike51Merc; 11-10-2013 at 11:00 AM. |

Re: Make your ethanol-free gas!
I had problems with the gas in my boat filter. The ethanol was mixing with water in the gas and settling at the bottom of the fuel filter like a melted wax consistency and sounding the alarms causing me to change 15.00 fuel filters periodically. It cause Hell in the boating world. JMO.

Dumping an ethanol (and whatever) mixture on the ground is straight up polluting. Quote:
Ethanol is not the Anti-Christ. Update the materials in your fuel system accordingly, tweak your engine's carb and ignition settings, and live a happy life. Sure, it may burn a negligible amount of additional fuel, but given the number of miles the average Ford Barner drives his/her car, that's really a moot point. You'll wind up saving money by not having to deal with the outrageously expensive additives, aviation or "racing" fuels, or hokey ethanol removal practices.

For example nearly every, if not all, stations in Iowa will have pumps serving non-ethanol 87. There are a LOT of stations that don't show up on the website.

Re: Make your ethanol-free gas!
So, would that be called etho-jack? Sounds similar to how we used to let cider freeze in a keg with the cork or plug down, then ciphon off what remained liquid - aka APPLEJACK - some might potent sippin' stuff indeed. Don't think I'd want to try it with gasoline though. . .
