that corn gas is some bad shit.. if you have a carb it just eats the shit out of it.. aka if you have a snowmobile 4wheeler, lawnmower, weedwip, muscle car, any older vehicles ethinal kills your fuel lines and carb.. ethinal is a waste it is very unefeciant to make and the only reason it is cheaper is because of all the government subsidys...

oh man dont even try to talk about ethanol and carbs.  summer time and jetski shop all i did was carb jobs everyday.  it cleans out your fuel tank and cloggs the little inner filters.  bad news all in all

I thought that your engine had to be ethanol ready.  Sounds like they deserve to ruin there stuff if they don't know what they are doing, can't put a lot of fuels in a GAS engine.

It does which means nothing with a carb unless specified.  Even with EFI, it shouldn't be used unless the Mfg. has done testing.  Some cars that aren't E85 ready can use E10 or some other percentage.  Nice thing about E80 is for those with performance engines.  In the US it's hard to find cheap gas that is 100 octane.

well the th9ing is we don't really want to have to buy  a mew lawnmower, weedwipe, 3 4wheelers, 2 snowmobiles, and the carbs on our cj3a and 71 firebird. just because some liberal assholes think it will be fun to spend millions of dollars to subsidies ethinal.

if you leave gas with ethinal in your gas tank even with stable it will get bad in like 2 3 months and leave gull stuff at the bottom of the tank.. other than that i haven't heard of it jelling up.

Yeah, Moz, the NBC studio where Leno does his show is about a mile down the road from Off Road Unlimited and 4xDoctor's stores; you could shop and do Leno in the same afternoon  :lol:
