Ditto. I hate to say it, but I've had no real problems with ethanol fuel. (other than the drop in MPG like everyone else). Maybe one reason is I don't leave any gas in my fuel tank for a really long time. At winter I drain my backpac blower, weed eater, lawnmowers, etc., then put a little light oil in the tank and pull it thru into the cylinder(s). Been doing it like that since my dad showed me how 50+ years ago. Smokes a little on startup, but it goes away in a minute or so. No corrosion in the bowl, cylinders, etc.

We got several 100% gas stations all over the state...I can think of 5 w/in 10 miles of here..I finally broke down and got some for my chainsaw after 2 rebuilds, but that's the only problem I've EVER had...the Honda did fine on ethanol...and bless his heart, Vic upgraded the fuel lines on the Merc...LOOKS cool too!!...Thanks, Buddy!!..
