I now notice that the first thing any of the local mechanics do when a customer comes in is smell the gas - so it must be hurting injectors as well.
And, the second biggest scare in this thing is that you can't store gasoline anymore - it's gone away in less than thirty days.
Since we are on the subject - does anyone know if the various fuel stabilizers work with this new stuff. If so, which ones?
(When you have three '50s vehicles retrofitting to fuel injection is not a real viable alternative .)
Other brands of gas don’t totally destroy carbs bur Arco does.
On small oe stationary engines if they are going to sit for more than a couple of weeks, drain the gas out of them.
ARCO also gets much poorer milage than other brands.
Just last week a guy had 2 motorcycles stored at a friends house for about a month and he couldn’t get them to start.
We drained the gas out of them, put in fresh gas and they started right up.
Stabil makes a special marine grade additive just for ethanol crap gas.
