E15 gas

[Mike440]

Guys any thoughts or suggestions about the E15 gas rollout? Anybody know of a addictive to use? Will E10 still be available? Read some real horror stories about this stuff.

Use the higher grade of pumped gas and don't fill it up then put some non ethanol in that is the way I am leaning. Of course the 98 is what I was running the runner on to check the motor out before the restore project began. Unleaded gas was around and gasohol was also at the pump back then. I here the more ethanol use the bigger the jet's in the carb have to be. Just my thought's on the subject.

E15 is very corrosive to fuel system.

Thought they backed off this idea?

Apparently not. Just not available during the summer months according to this article. All of it is nasty stuff IMHO. I don't let any of it get near any of the old cars, bikes, or even my lawn tractor. Like Quickie noted, EXTREMELY CORROSIVE.

I bought some of the watered down fuel today and it is up to 2.75 for mid grade here. I thought we had more fuel than ever so what is going on. I was only 2.35 a month ago.

Ethanol fuel is fine - if your car is built to handle it (bye-bye rubber hoses).

That being said, Its never been near any of my cars, new or old.
