Anyonerunning ethanol? If so, Hows it working out?

 

E85 will ruin your motor.

 

Thanks for the feedback. The manual claims I can run ethanol as long as it contians no more tha 10% ethanol in my 07.I'll stick with gasoline...91 octane.

 

100% of gasoline in Mn has 10% ethanol, except special pumps that are for collector vehicles, tractors, lawn mowers, etc.

I always knew my Harley would be collectable....

Seriously, your bike will run just fine on a 10% ethanol blend, as long as the octane is correct (91 or higher). You mileage will be slightly less.

 

On my recent ride through Nebraska 10% was about all I could find. The bike seemed to run ok, but my gas mileage was pretty bad. I think that's one of the reasons HD has gone to the 6 gallon tank on the new touring bikes. More gas but still the same touring range when running in the ethanol states.

 

No thanks, I'll pass on the corn. This corrosive low-energy threshhold mix is the last thing I want in my FLH (where's my toluene?). I'd rather peel peanuts at the side of the road than pour this cr*p in. Squeezins' are meant for drinking boys, not a sorry excuse for "alternative energy". Trust your resident organic chemist on this one, it's another environmentalist wacko pipedream that should be retired to the dustbin of history!!! [:'(]

 

The ethanol program is a sellout to lobbyists funded by large midwest farmers with political clout.

It costs more energy to produce 1 gallon of ethanol than the conventional fuel savings.

Ethanol delivers lower gas mileage overall making it substandard to the price of gas..etc..I could go on..

 

Plus it produces more polution and uses a lot of water.

 

Runs fine on 10% blend.

 

I'll stay with hi-test gasoline.
