E-10
PI knowosted: Mon Apr 07, 2008 3:52 pm Post subject: E-10
I know E-10 is used some in the mid-west. It looks like it will be coming to the south. Has anyone had any issues with using it in your bikes?

You mean 10% ethenol?? I didn't realize it wasn't "standard" almost everywhere. Its hard to find a station without it around here, so I've been using it in all my bikes for the last 10 years or more with no problems.

Not standard here. Never used it. I have heard stories of water and plugged
fuel filters and poor gas mileage.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not an advocate for ethenol....I think the government is going in the wrong direction pushing it so hard, but as far as using it goes I don't think you will have a problem.

I have used it for years in my bikes it work fine all engines on the market are designed to run it.
ethenol is nothing new if you look you may find many of you have been using it and do not even know it.
Yes your HD will run fine on it you will not even know your running it
No it will not mess anything up
It will keep fuel system clearner

All gas sold in my area is 10% ethanol. There were some who raised a fuss about it, but, in the end, it hasn't caused any problems that I have heard about. Been using it in all of my vehicles for many years with no problems.

RE: E-10
Harley's owners manual has it listed as acceptable to use.
Very doubtful that any one as a casual street rider will really
notice any performance issues with it in a fuel injected bike.
If so, then there is more wrong here than just the formulation.
Your mileage may suffer somewhat, but again normally not so
much as you would really notice it.
Been using it around here about ten years, almost all stations
have this formulation.
Sinclair is only one that does not.
My mileage per tank has normally been within 10 miles no matter
what I use.
I have more mileage problems dealing with the winds we have out here.
Carb setups may notice a tendency to vapor lock sometimes after a
hard ride and then letting bike sit in the hot sun.
