I can't even begin to tell you the amount of trouble that crap has caused me over the years with small engines. I found a commercial fuel distribution facility a couple of years ago that sells 93 octane non ethanol and my life got a lot easier.

Ethanol fuel does not belong in small engines especially if you intend on leaving it in a fuel tank for more than a few weeks.

Well, no doubt ethanol is a bad idea for fuel.....engines, etc...

How has it affected agricultural markets . .....

Corn for feed/food vs corn for fuel? How has feeding the world been affected by the fuel industry having to resort to ethanol per regulatory requirement.

Good, bad, or maybe I should just STFU.

BTW, I only use ethanol free in any small engine

Same goes for "no-spill" spouts on gas cans. I imagine they are responsible for more spilled gas than before they existed. I need to replace several spouts on gas cans and one diesel can.

Hahaha! It was all of you people.


The KBR needed some freedom so we invaded Iraq.


Gas and diesel skyrocketed....rubber became unobtainable.



The WHOLE United States cried long and loud for "renewables".



Anyway...youse guys are FOS. Today's gas...even with alcohol is way better than it used to be.

Roger, I have had good success with B12. Neighbor had an edger that had sat for a couple of years. Took the tank off and doused it with B12. Took carb apart and got all of the goop out of the bowl and let it soak in B12. started on the second pull.

I only use it in fuel injected engines. Anything carbeurated gets non-E gas.
