To stop the insanity, there's nothing better than the hard reality.


Its been great business for small engine shops. They can't keep up
with all the gooped up carbs from yard equipment that had this stuff
run through it. Never leave fuel with ethanol in an engine overnight,
always drain the fuel and run it until the carb is clear of fuel.

Dumb question: Is this ethanol-laced gas a problem for newer small
engines? It doesn't seem to bother my motorcycle, lawnmower or
tug (aviation content)? Or have I just been lucky and don't have this
ethanol-laced junk around here in the Boston area?
