Default EPA Approval For E15 Fuel

Hey everyone the EPA has approved E15 fuel, We have been tracking E10 fuel problems for the past four years, It attracts water, It attacks all rubber fuel lines and related rubber fuel system parts causing fuel leaks, It also attacks aluminum fuel system parts. Ever wonder where your fuel mileage went well it won't get better with E15 look for it to get worse. Also if you own a 2006 or older car or truck your in trouble, The fuel systems and ECM are not designed for anything over E10. My customers have had bills related to fuel system problems on their HD motorcycles as high as $1000.00 due to using E10 Fuel. Why do we settle for Sub Standard and High Priced Fuel that will cost us so much money in repairs. Its time for us to stand up for our rights. Please pass this to everyone.

Next stop, E20... don't think they wont. The more **** they can put in the gas, the worse your mileage. The more fuel you buy, the more gas tax they collect. Neat huh?

This is political BS and not oil company BS. You are blaming the wrong one this time.

Your Right this is political so what are we going to do about it. If everyone just sits on their you no what nothing will happen. But we will pay for it later when our Harley Davidson won't run because all the problems caused by the fuel.

I work in the motorcycle industry and I have collected 637 bikes in the last four years with fuel related problems, One of my freinds has a 2008 BMW seven series that had problems it would shut off, He had BMW pick up to do diagnostics they tested the fuel in the tank and found twenty eight percent Ethanol, He had been buying fuel that said contained up to ten percent. Even his $113,000.00 car would not run on that fuel.

I rather give more money to the Midwest than the middle east. Never had a problem running e10 or even e85.

In October 2010 the E.P.A. granted a waiver to allow up to 15% of ethanol blended with gasoline to be sold only for cars and trucks with a model year of 2007 or later, representing about 15% of vehicles on the U.S. roads. The ruling regarding the use of E15 in model year 2001 to 2006 vehicles is awaiting the results of additional U.S. Department of Energy testing.[
