I use Stabil or Star-Tron. Both, do not have alcohol in them. [Reply]  [No Email]

Our gas is already 10% DRYGAS right out of the pump! Sta-Bil for Ethanol that "removes water from gas" is a SCAM. Why can't the Federal Government do something useful and prosecute them for FALSE ADVERTISING. [Reply]  [No Email]

Have had better results with SeaFoam 0r Lucas for Ethanol. The Lucas is better for stopping the corrosion of aluminum and some plastics. [Reply]  [No Email]

I honestly will not put ethanol in any engine I own. Putting a "fuel" in, knowing the propensity of that "fuel" to rapidly evaporate and/or draw moisture like a sponge seems to offend my sensibilities as a mechanic for some reason or another... There's just something about anything mandated by the federal government that makes me thing it's a bad idea... [Reply]  [No Email]

I have no problem with 10% if it reduces pollution, that was the original idea of putting it it as I remember, and the farmers were all in favor of it, look what it's helped do to corn prices! We used to buy heet to get through the cold winters in MN, now we don't have to do that anymore. [Reply]  [No Email]

A mechanic, and you don't even realize what you said, do you? Gasoline boils off at between 100 - 400 degrees, depending which portion of gasoline you are talking about. Ethanol boils a steady,. easier to work with 172 degrees. --->Paul [Reply]  [No Email]

"Rubbing Alcohol" has around 30% Water.. "Denatured Alcohol" has NONE and will absorb a reasonable amount of water from your fuel system.. Ron.. [Reply]  [No Email]

They have alcohol which causes it to again solubilize and then pass through the combustion as alcohol burns it takes the water change with it. There are a few products that do not have alcohol as its base which should be used where aluminum such as the tank or fuel lines are. Alcohol with aluminum will make a corrsive element causing aluminum to break down plus set at the bottom of tank or cause a film to develope eating the aluminum. Hope this helps. You can buy racing alcohol at about $4.50 to $5.00 a gallon at a lot of race tracks especially where they run dragsters and such. Better then using the drug store watered down brands.

Ethanol does the same thing. [Reply]  [No Email]
