It is best to keep Ethanol away from small 2 cycle Engines , i have learned that Chainsaws And Such engines are Trouble free if You USE HI TEST only ,, the briggs stuff around here gets hi test too,,. have run e-85 in deere kawasaki lawn mower with no ill effects but feel it is not a good idea..after THIS HAPPENED :,,. over last 5 years, i have gradualy increased e-85 to 100% in the suumer monthes,, The Best Success I have is in My Gasser Case Tractors,, Virtually trouble free , and e-85 is in them now , BUT now the trouble : I Also ran it in My FORD F-600 grain truck and my 300 massey combine ,with minor adjustments , all ran fine ,,THEN IT HAPPENED all in one week , fuel pump failed on the f-600 and filled the crankcase full of gas ,, combine electric fuel pump failed , all the gaskets were melted to the vicosity of caulk ,Made repairs on all and went back to e-10 regular , couple monthes later the carb gaskets on the f-600 siphoned gas into the crankcase again .. rebuilt carb ,, changed oil again , added LUCAS AGAIN , made a couple more loads of corn to the river with the f - 600 and throwed a rod , gasoline must a gaulded the bearings,, motor had 139,000 miles ... ,.Sometimes We wonder if there was some odd ball killer solvent in the E-85 we got that week , because it all happened on the Same tank of e-85 ,, last Time i posted this someone made fun of the way i type and concluded i had psycosis ? wtf/? and up theirs! ,.. the Question I have to ALL of You who USE E -85 is,, if you have had the same problems with gaskets turning to gel as i have.. Could be just my bad luck , because it seems to work well with no ill effects for some guys ... let me know , thanx jh
