Ethanol attacks elastomeric sealing devices more aggressively than does carbon-based fuel. This causes premature failure and ultimately the expensive engine overhauls.
The nanny-ninny liberal pansies know best for us.”
Remember when the Liberals changed the formula for deisel?
The change caused the fuel to eat up all the o-rins, seals, in the deisel engines. Large trucks/semi’s were stalled on roads all over the country.
Many of those trucks were owner/operators. Those repair costs came out of their pockets. Even the costs of repairs that the big outfits paid for were passed on to the consumers.
There is hardly a single action that the Feds and the Liberals dream up that does NOT have a negative impact somewhere.
And I have some real news for those of you who are total city slickers:
Milk doesn’t just come from SAFEWAY!!!!!
You are repeating very OLD news. Those warning exist only for those who still might have an old vehicle with natural rubber fuel hoses and gaskets.
Heck, even my old 1935 Minneapolis Moline uses cork because it was MADE to run on alcohol.
And BTW, the same warning exists when using modern fuels with MTBU additive. It attacks rubber as well. MTBU was added in place of lead.
And just what 'expensive overhauls' might those be? replacing a fuel line? ($5) A carb kit? ($25)
You certainly won't blow an engine if your carb starts leaking fuel.
Yes. They are so smart.
Now we have the new, reformulation edict of low sulphur content. It drives the cost up $1.00 over the cost of regular (unleaded) gasoline.
I know because I have two diesel autos.
These pansies we've elected to rule and ruin our lives are absolutely functionally illiterate.
