“I believe you are giving wrongful advice about a subject you obviously know very little about.”
I made an assumption that the car was a fuel injected car. I own an 80s vintage car, and it’s fuel injected. I gave the advice as a guy who has turned a wrench or two. Also, I assumed the poster was referring to the gas/ethanol blend. Pure ethanol is not something I have experience with. The worst case I’ve heard of is an 80% gas 20% ethanol blend available at the pump.
I didn’t realize there was a snotty reader, who would make bigger assumptions than mine. You’re assessement of what I know or don’t know is not only arrogant, it’s ignorant.
To the poster I replied to, yes, carbureted engines will have more trouble with the ethanol BLEND. If you want to run pure ethanol, I appologize, I have no experience with pure ethanol, nor do I know where you can get that at the pump.
Perhaps, idiot-freep, oh, sorry, that’s psycho-freep, can enlighten you?
I was wrong.
I haven’t encountered it here, but there are higher blends of ethanol. I was looking at E10, but researched and found E85. I know ethanol will eat your fuel system, and I know it will lower your mileage... those are facts. I honestly don’t know how bad E85 will mess up an older engine beyond the fuel system.
Clearly I’m not qualified to give advice.
And clearly psycho-freep is still snotty.
I’ve got a ‘67 mustang with a 289 that runs fine on the low ethanol gas mix we all have.
