It's all about application, Keith. Alcohol dragsters were designed to run on the stuff. Modern fuel-injected engines were too (in particular, their fuel systems were, out of necessity, thanks to government mandates - but still). I still use pump gas consisting of 10% ethanol in all my

Alcohol produces more power than gasoline in classes limited by engine size. It is tough on aluminum but one can take precautions. Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Keith Dutson via BVARC Sent: Monday, September 18, 2017 9:13 PM To: 'BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB' Cc: Keith Dutson

What is wrong with alcohol in gas? Everybody says it is bad. Why? What proof? I have eight pieces of equipment using four-cycle gasoline engines. Three are mowers used all of the time to keep the grass cut on most of the 16 acres here. Pump gas is used in all of these engines. The

Well, so much for avoiding the controversy, LOL! I am curious about your method for removing the ethanol that's so perilous. Mine takes minutes and is no more dangerous than filling a gas can. Trufuel is great stuff for long term storage, but for more frequent, but intermittently used gear

I am amazed at the extremes Hams will go to save a nickle! You can get a can of Trifuel or VP at Home Depot , Northern Tool or NAPA. Run the gas out of it and pour in the Trifuel. Run the engine for 5 min to be sure all the gas is out. Unit already for storage. If you need to run it for

I remove the ethanol myself from the gasoline I use in my generators, motorcycles, etc (i.e., anything with a carburetor). My method tends to start a controversy every time I mention it, so email me privately if you're interested. For what it's worth, it's based on science, and it's worked

Gentlemen, I know I could be opening a can of worms, however, a few weeks ago there was a thread about generator fuel additives, stabilizers and most importantly gas without ethanol additives. Can I get someone to refresh me as to where to get this type of gas locally please. Thank you, Jim
