Just saying. JonMon
Try to leave your blended corn fuel sitting for a month, and watch corn molasses form.
Ethanol fuel almost killed one of my carbd bike.
Fossil fuel in the tank, corn on the table.

I run 10% ethanol in everything I own ..
including, 1987 Johndeere. 1978 honda cx500,
91 sportie, 03 fatboy..,and 200 efi MERCURY OUTBOARD
weedeaters/pressurewashers/chainsaws, and log splitter.
zero problems ...
trick is to keep/replace alcohol risistant fuel lines , and dont let your engine sit a long time...

B.T.W I hate ethanol, biggest rip off on the consumer/taxpayer the "gov'ment has done

Another thing you can do to find ethanol free gas is call a local machine shop that does HIPO car engines they almost always no the good places to find good gas. Pure Gas doesn't have every place that sells ethanol free on there sight only the ones someone has reported. I found 2 places not on the list where I live, they are both little hole in the wall independent oil companies that truck the stuff it.

Corn fule is good for the farmers,it is the fancy spancy green mafia trend we are all going to have to live with.

Even NASCAR has gone to it ghesssssssssssss. In New Mexico that's all they sell. They have come a long way with the blend but still using food to make fule is foreboding.

Problem with ethanol free fuel is for the most part with a few exceptions 89 octane is the highest octane you can find.
I like running at least 91 and even more so 93 octane.
Valvitec marine fuel is good stuff as i use it in my boat.
But it is rated at 89 octane.

Most stations in my area (central WI) have ethanol free premium, because boaters want it for marine engines.

All Kwik Trips have it. Ethanol, another example of "Government isn't the solution, it is the problem".
