Ethanol Question!!

[bradford]

Hey Tsubaki, which pumps are non ethannol besides the BP on Montgomery Crossroad?

Haven't been there but it is supposed do be at 142 Pine Barren Road, just off Hwy80, west of Pooler.
Coffee Bluff Marina is supposed to have it also.
I haven't checked Hogans or any other Marinas.

My neighbor supplies Bull River and Lazaretto Creek marinas, all non-ethanol. I wish there was a pump I could trailer to that wasn't half way across the county though. I've considered having my neighbor deliver to my house and store it in 55 gallon drums.

get a burrett, add 9 cc of gas, add 1 cc of water,put a stopper in the top, shake it up, let it sit, if the water dissapears, you have at least 10%( the gas quanity will grow accordingly) ethanol, if it doesn't loose any water, you either have good straight gas or ethanol tainted fuel that allready has absorbed its capacity if water. If the tank has a "may contain" sticker on it, it so they can file for a rebate from the government for each gallon pumped. Since the price of ethanol has gone up to more than gas, you won't see as much, its actually getting closer to non ethanol fuel than they wan't to admit(no rebate). Ethanol just ends up being the whipping post for most neglected maintaince issues

have a friend with a test kit and he has checked a lot of the area stations, the "cheaper" off brand stations have the least amount of ethanol. usually less than 2%. the name brand ones have the most...

There is plenty of that rat piss in the fuel here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, but you rarely see a sticker announcing the fact.

I know it is there because I can't let any of my fuel sit for long or it turns to water and nothing will run on it.
