This isn't new but it is to me. I'm going to DIY something similar to feed my small and older engines.

Ya that is cool aint it. Water and ethanol settle to the bottom just like it does in our steel fuel tanks.  Am fortunate to have ethanol free premium fuel available in my area. |

Neat idea!!!!! I might have to give'er a try on of these days!! Am fortunate to have ethanol free premium fuel available in my area. Not me...... My only option for the weedeater and such, is to go buy 100LL avgas at the local municipal airport, (when I remember, which is not often) At least it's pay at the pump. Although, KNOCK ON WOOD, I can't recall a serious problem with ethanol gas, but I run the carbs dry on all my small engines before storage, but I have seen small engine carbs plumb ate up from people leaving fuel in them. They say "The Sta-Bill bottle said it would be fine!" Jeep and the gas tractors have been running on 10% ethanol since the powers at be pulled the idea out of their rectums. The only thing I will not run on blended fuel is Grandad's '46 Evinrude outboard, cork float and other impossible to find carburetor parts.... I'm not taking any chances.... |

I always run my 2-stroke stuff dry if it's going to sit longer than a few months. I dump stabil in it right when I fill the cans and so far haven't had a problem. It's 10% here.
I was worried about the 2A but even it was fine after a month. I did end up adding some fuel treatment after that though.
Before the ethanol we had something else, so it's always been blended around here. Part of the reason I liked my Cummins, and now the TDI.

Here is an interesting read. I found it on the Power Wagon Page with the following discourse; Ethanol Thread . A bit long so make sure to fill your mug beforehand. New Ethanol Study

So has anyone actually tried this, or called to see how much this Ethanator system costs? I'll be the first to admit that I know zip.nada on this topic. I don't even know if there is anywhere I can find corn-free gasoline in the area. There is no way I could get through the PDF but I am curious to know if there is any legitimacy to this claim. I mean, there are YouTube videos out there instructing people to DRILL THEIR iPHONES and people are doing it! LOL

Fair. Balanced and unafraid. You be the judge. One caveat. The name of the group has “Renewable” in it. I suspect an agenda. Do a Google search for ethanol-free gas in your area. I think there may be a website dedicated to it.

I giggled when I saw this thread. In my head popped... "Elect the right leadership at the federal level."  |
