 Well that's great, nothin close to me! Boy that stuff really messed up my boat motor, and my quad 

[peterpike]

put stable in with your gas when filling your boat up runs alot better

[Fisher Pol]

The Kwikfil near me says 10% ethanol.  is that bad for power augers?

I believe the ethonol is seperating from the gas when it sits for a few weeks.  I believe that if you used it all in a week or two, nothing to worry about.  But if you are like me (two tanks a season) then I think over time it will mess up the engine.

Fisher Pol ,
  There is a thread in the General chit chat (ice fishing ) board that discusses this topic,from what I read in that thread ethanol attracts moisture (water) which can lead to corrosin and other problems with small gas engines. Also a post from a member who works as a auto mechanic he claims it is not to best for automotive engines either. Some say the use of a fuel stabilizer will lessen or eliminate these problems.
  I do not have a gas auger but own a two cycle engine snow blower and use the 10% ethanol gas in it along with adding a stabilizer and have not had problems so far. (I used Briggs-Straton currently use Stabil fuel stabilizer,a lot of people like marine formula Stabil or Sea Foam)If a station sells ethanol free gas near you try it out and see if you notice any difference.

one thing to think about if you dont use alot of mixed gas  is sears sells cans of gas all premixed and stabilized with no ethonal for 5 bucks a can  made a big difference in my saw and weed wackers

[surflizard]

I found a source of 87 Ethe free AV gas at the local airport, mixed it 100 to 1 with Amesoil Sabre and a splash of Seafoam and What a difference !! The Augers are purring and the Bolens weed whacker actually Idles now and the throttle response is amazing  !! I LIKE IT !! Well worth the 3 bucks a gallon for the huge difference in performance !!    YEEHAW !!

[pooley]

add stabil or startron to every tank, and you won't have problems.

[callduckfarm]

You can take the Kwik Fill in Lakeville off the list. They just started carrying the 10% ethanol blend.

Darn !!!!

I heard their going to 15% ethanol soon

[IceLabrador]

I heard the 15 % isn't going to happen until they complete the preliminary testing on older vehicles.  If the older vehicles can handle the added ethanol we're going to 15.....SUCKS!

A mechanic locally does the following with ethanol:  He fills his gas cans about 3/4 full.  He returns home and pours water into the tanks to bring them to full.  He'll shake the can getting the mixture really agitated and then lets it sit for aprox 20 minutes.  After this he separates the ethanol (which binds with water) from the straight gasoline.  You'll visually see a line.  His augers, small engines run beautifully!  It takes some experimenting and trial and error.

then do you have to add dry gas   lol

that stuff made my boat run awful this summer. dumped both staebils  and still wasnt the same.hope they come up with something that helps

[luv2fish2]

i heard there's supposed to be different gas for winter ? no ethanol who can be contacted to find out? makes sense read it in a mag recently somewhere

[ICE WANDERER]

        I was going thru Ft. Ann today & stopped @ the truck stop on rt.149, they advertise that their supper grade gas is ETHANOL FREE.

[major257]

what is the law in NY and why is it in our gas?

[ICE WANDERER]

          Ethanol was put in the gas to replace MTBE {methyl tertiery butyl ether} in accordance w/EPACT 2005 law. MTBE was used to get more oxy. into gas but had other emissions hurting the environment. Also Ethanol was cheaper & a renewable feul mixed with gas stretches the consuption rate. According to what I've read not every gallon has to have ethanol mixed in but I can see the money thing w/the use of it. Also  some claim engins run smother w/it but it has its drawbacks as you all probably know that it causes carrosion it a short time in motors that are not used on a daily basis {chain saws, lawn mowers, ICE AUGERS etc. causeing expensive repairs.
