Why would I do that...it's true. Just don't let the water get in it.
Also, you still cannot show me a site where ethanol added gas is more verifiably efficient.
A site? I'll tell you what;
Go talk to a gasoline transport driver. If he has a clue, he'll tell you that they take stock "off the rack" refinery gas @ 82 octane. Each state has different specs, which is a cluster, so in both your state and mine, they then dump in the specific additives to bring it into state compliance...including the ethanol....Then they fill his truck. IF you could get your hands on 82 octane "mixer" gas, it would ping, kickback, and backfire through the intake because it explodes, instead of a productive controlled combustion.
It's the same thing as trying to run a high performance/high compression race engine on regular gas.
You're just an ethanol blowhard with no evidence but invective and YOU are the one who "doesn't know better."
No I'm not, I've learned how to operate the equipment I have with the fuel I can get. You're the one hurling invectives.
I work in the automotive parts industry, I also sell small engine parts. I educated myself early on, as I had the same problems and attitude as you (well maybe not as bad) I've done a lot of reading, done my own experiments, FIXED THE PROBLEM...I've spoken to the Maine Snowmobile Owners Association, the Maine Used Car Dealers Association, many many REAL mechanics...and the tank-truck drivers, they all agree with me.
Additionally, I run and maintain my own wintertime snow gear, which I count on to get me out of Maine winter snowstorms. Do you?
Did I mention I fixed the problem, and also told you how to do it?
Gasoline current sold today is NOT more efficient than gasoline untainted by it.
I never said it was, there's way too much alcohol in it. But the leaded fuel would immediately destroy your converter, and the MBTE was an idiotic idea, quickly repealed.
By the way...ALL your favorite "gasolines" are deliberately "tainted" with something, just so it will work.
So if you can't understand what I wrote, go to the damn airport and get some 100LL (of course it will foul your plugs)
I understood what you wrote perfectly. It is a long and drawn out explanation off how to add, adjust and compensate for the ills of ethanol and other additives. Your solution? Just add more stuff to increase the octane to bring efficiency back up and then to pooh-pooh off effects on 2 cycle engines when you “maintain your own snow blower- la di dah.
No I don’t have a snow blower (and I doubt yours is 2-stroke) but I have many other 2 cycles. 2 hedge trimmers, two string trimmers, two blowers, one chain saw and a 4 cycle push lawn mower and two big riders that I’ve had to rework the carbs on all. You can stick your octane where the sun don’t shine ethanol man.
