I searched but couldn't find anything on here. Some of our local gas station are starting to sell 10% ethanol in their gas. I was just wondering if this is something that should be avoided?

 

I have used synoco gas that has 10% corn in it for years in my stang no problems that I can tell but I am no expert.

 

The good part about these old engines is they will burn just about anything but water. And, with the proper equipment, that may be possible. "If she don't ping, then she will sing. "

 

Yeah, no emissions crap to fug up everything. As long as it explodes

 

it will be fine most gas stations haveiong been using low levels of it for years

 

I would prob. not use ethanol, I have heard it can be hard on rubber gaskets/seals in the carb.

 

10% isnt enough to do damage to anything. Its safe to run in your car. I ran nothing but that in my GTO while I was in Nebraska. Ethanol will tend to separate if it sits a while, the fuel sloshing around the tank keeps it mixed while driving. But if you leave the car for a week you will have ethanol on the bottom of the tank and gasoline above it. its not a big deal, just drive it around and it will mix again.

I do recomend putting non ethanol it in about every 7-10 tanks. Run it as close to dry as possible and then fill it with no ethanol fuel. Why? Ethanol and methanol absorb water. Its just cheap insurance and a simple way to keep water and rust out of your tank.

If you store your car for long periods, or have bought a car that hasnt run in 10 years or more you can have alot of rust in the tank. Cars that havent moved in 15-20 years like some of mine will need a new tank, because you cant get all the rust and crap out of it. It will plug your fuel filters, lines and carb if you leave it in there.
