They recommend using Premium fuel due to a drop in octane when taking the ethanol out.? Get a clear tank, add ethanol fuel, dump in water and watch it separate out the ethanol/water solution.? Drain out the ethanol/water and you only have unleaded auto fuel left over.? If you want the specific amount of water to use per gallon, Google the question and you will easily find several methods for doing this.? Simple and easy to use.? Doesn't take very long to do it either.. Another solution was to add a long length of clear tubing to the gas can with a shut off valve at the bottom.? Dump in the water to the fuel, turn the can upside down and shake.? Watch the water/ethanol separate in the clean tubing; open the valve and let the ethanol/water drain out;? what you have left is pure gasoline. Works great.? Your choice as to whether or not you want to try it.

I imagine most cars have such things these days, althoiugh the Oldsmobile that I replaced my beloved Cadillac with doesn't.? Whenever I would drive cross country and got into the mid-west where ethanol is sold, my fuel mileage would always go down.? I'm impressed by the statement "The fastest cars in the country use it." so obviously I'm suffering form a misconception.? I inherently disliked it because it decreased my fuel mileage and because government welfare to all the farmers who grow corn for ethanol annoyes me too.? Plus, I've never trusted it in my KR.? If I do ever use auto fuel in the KR (GP-2180) I always use Chevron Supreme, which is what I always use in my other vehicles.? Calling Chevron headquarters in San Francisco several years ago, they told me Supreme has 7% ethanol in it.? It may be more now, or less, but thinking I could avoid ethanol by buying top grade gasoline was not correct.? I think it's all got ethanol in it, except for boutique racing shops that sell ethanol-free gas for racing.? Why would racing shops sell ethanol-free gas for racing if "the fastest cars in the country use it."? I'm not arguing here since I'm not very smart, but just relating my experiences.? Steve Bennett said he always ran my engine on ethanol-free gas - which he could get in Omaha.? Here in San Diego it's only available from specialized racing shops.? From Steve's comments on operation of my engine, I've tried to keep ethanol out of the tanks but I have occasionally put some Chevron Supreme in.? It's always mixed with whatever 100LL is already in the tank.? In my aux tank in the wing, made from vinyl ester, I've been religious about never putting anything but 100LL in it.? I've heard too many stories about car gas wreaking havoc to tanks and fuel components for me to use it more than very occasionally. Just my experience.? I'm still learning new things . . .hope we all are. ____________________________________________________________ Nextiva vFAX Why Do You Still Have An Old Fax Machine? http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/5755c69e982ad469e6d0cst04vuc _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://tugantek.com/archmailv2-kr/search.
