Agreed. See 37. They have been in trouble for a long time.. I think this was coming with or without Covid... Covid might have moved the date up some, but it wasn’t the underlying cause

Or better yet. Turn it upside down and pour off the water and ethanol blend, and have a gas can full of gas without any ethanol left in it

Chapter 11 does not mean "end of business/liquidation." liquidaton is Chapter 7.

It means reorganization of debt obligations so the business can survive.

You watch the youtube ‘how-to’s?

Turning “it” upside down requires pouring off the water/ethanol blend from the jar bottom. Bottom’s don’t typically have any opening.

The vids show various methods of siphoning and the like.

Around here in Raleigh, NC, no alcohol gas is widely available. I get mine at a Harris Teeter gas station.

Most gas cans have a pour spout. Add the water shake it up wait

Then turn the can upside down and open the pour spout and pour out the water ethanol mix

Works like a charm.

A red gas can?

Do you somehow prevent over-pouring the ethanol out? Or, just accept a small amount of real gas as part of the process?

The first night I got a go-cart, I rolled it and broke the muffler. Luckily, I had a short piece of galvanized pipe that was a perfect replacement. It also ran better after the mod—though it probably wasn’t very good for my hearing!

Just accept it. If you want to be a stickler and are
Worried about a few
Pennies of gas attach the spout to a clear tube.. and let it flow out slowly and pinch it after the clearer ethanol and water is gone
