Re: Gas - Anyone running Zero Ethanol?
Is it more healthy for the engine to use a product like StaBil on a regular basis? I use it in everything else.

Re: Gas - Anyone running Zero Ethanol?
I run zero E 93 octane in all the toys. Diesel in the big truck and the cheapest I can find for the little truck. It doesn't run right on the good stuff, go figure. In my recent adventures with the briggs vanny I saw where is said the rubber or whatever tipped float valve needles would not stand up to E fuel. Thinking that is what killed the one in there..

Re: Gas - Anyone running Zero Ethanol?
The best thing you can do,is run additives like Marine-Stabil(Blue,the regular Red doesn't work well with ethanol),Star-Tron(Awesome stuff,actually runs different with it)or Lucas Fuel-Treatment.I try to run it every tank in stuff like the cart,my mower gets it every other tank,since I run it down when I mow.Check your plugs on a 2-stroke on Hi-Test(over 100 especially,It could lean it out quite a bit in some cases).

Re: Gas - Anyone running Zero Ethanol?
Here in Virginia, most of the pumps here in the valley sell no e gas. They keep it here for "tractor" use. Since the station 1/2 mile away carries it, I haven't used ethanol tainted fuel in anything! Alway's keep 10 gallons on hand for the golf cart, lawn mower, atv's, everything! I'd run it in my truck, except at .15 cents more a gallon, can't afford it all the time.

The higher octane fuels have a slower burn rate. 2 strokes and high winders like a faster burn rate which keeps more of the BTU's for the power stroke rather than in the exhaust which you get with oxygenated fuels like E-xx's. The camp fuels are a white gas which I mentioned earlier have a fast burn rate without the corrosive ethanol blend and will last a long time (years).
One of my hobbies are remote controlled boats powered by 26cc 2stokes spinning almost 20000 RPM and 6+ HP. I played with different fuels for years and found the white gas to be consistent and not distort the rubber in the walbro carburetors. I know some of you think I'm nuts but more octane doesn't mean more bang. It's how you apply the different types of bang you get from different fuels. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2 |

Re: Gas - Anyone running Zero Ethanol?
my plug burns perfect so i think i will stick to the regular 93 octane citgo when not ethanol free..going to get ethanol free in a few minutes for the cart and see if it runs a lil better this weekend
btw,ive never seen or heard of "blue"stabil lol..everything ive seen is red..my dad is a seafoam guy,,im a lucas guy since forever..i had 2 semi trucks yrs back and when i used a gallon of lucas fuel treatment it got a couple hundred more miles to a 200 gal tank of fuel iirc,,was amazing difference in economy btw;new long travel on the marathon was a good thing,,never rode better..out rides my truck now |
