I found these web sites from other newsgroups and though I would send them out... This one points to what is in most fuel additives and is sponsored by a site selling a fuel additive for most common ethanol problems... But it does have some good info and is easy to navigate ... http://e10gasadditives.com/about_fuel_additives.html This site is linked to from the site above ... I wish checking the oil on a bike was as easy as checking the fuel mixtures .. http://www.fueltestkit.com/
At this time - the only common fuel station selling fuel with no ethanol (in Ontario, Canada) is Shell V power. It's labelled right on the pump. I have not carefully tested it in my Husky. MAT
There was an article about fuel in Dirt Bike magazine a couple of months ago. They talked about the issue of ethanol in the fuel. I know it is almost impossible to find fuel in the area where I live without 10% ethanol. The article recommended a product called Starbrite Startron. Been around the marine world for awhile. Anyhow, I have always used Stabil, but I picked up a bottle of Startron recently at Bass Pro Shop. Today was at the local Honda dealership and they are now carrying it as well.
It says 10% ethanol max at the pump. Do you think there is capacity to produce enough ethanol to treat all of the pump gas in the United States to that percentage and still have enough to make e-85? Though I havn't read much lately it used to be ethanol or mtbe was all that was approved to use to meet some standard.
