Gasoline ethanol content

Re: Gasoline ethanol content

You can Google ethanol test kit and it will tell you to get a rain guage from Wallmart and put 1" of water and so much gas.The ethanol will go to the water it says so you can tell the ethanol content.I don't remember how much gas or water to use but a guy i know tested 3-4 different brands and all were over 10% in this area.The local Pilot station had cars shutting off from excess
ethanol(in the news paper).I have had my chainsaw and 2 weed wackers gas lines desolve for some unknown reason...

My weed eater fuel line became very soft and partially disintegrated last year. I replaced the line and later a guy at the small engine repair shop told me he had 2-3 engines in at all times due to ethanol eating the fuel lines. Now I run them dry as much as possible or partially fill the tanks.

BP Sunoco and Marathon, never the off brands and always the same set of stations, until the MIL light and dealer service charges eliminated that station as a source.

Terry got to love that non tax payer funded technical research that resulted in that PCM calibration control calculation.
