EPA is at it again; they are putting more Corn Flakes in the Gas!
It's NOT good for us...............50% more Corn Flakes than current E10 gas; it's ID is E15.
Voids lots of warranties including Lawn Mowers!
I'm sure we will hear a lot more about this latest dumb idea..........maybe we should
go back to Steam!
Cheers and have a nice day, Adrian

Ethanol test kits for fuel can be obtained for around $40. I would almost bet you a tank of fuel, it contains ethanol as the oxygenator, due to the banning of MTBE by the EPA. The stations here in my area, who claimed they were ethanol-free were simply incorrect.

I haven't seen it in WA..........yet.
I do know that WA state marinas all carry non alcohol gas;;I used to use it all year round in my XKE; sold it to a friend and he put E10 in it (i told him not too!); only took 3-4 weeks before he had fuel supply problems. Solution was he needed to buy new fuel tank($600) because the E10 started to clean out the tank coating ..................
I am trying to find out from Cenex if their E00 gas is honest!

If it was done within the last few years I'm a bit surprised that the manufacturer didn't make the product E10-compatible. Worth researching for anyone considering such coatings in the future

I'm presuming this was one of the sealant-type products that you slosh around to coat the inside of the tank?

Here in the grain belt we have quite a few stations with E15 (They are on the same pump as the E85 stuff) along with some other, higher level E pumps (E20, etc.). They are marked for flex fuel, just like the E85 pump. The rest of the pumps are still E10 and I usually have to hop over the border to South Dakota if I don't want any ethanol. The car has never had any issues with E10. My wife's old Subaru, before we sold it, was getting a little picky though and did run better without Ethanol.
