The anti bio fuel folks blow my mind. Why would you be against something uses commodities and in turn helps prices because you can’t maintain your system. Every bushel that gets consumed is a good thing.

When i saw this post I thought, What the Hell? It was posted to spark a fire, hence the juvenile name calling, “because you don’t believe what I believe.” It was not posted to convince anyone of anything, just separate “believers,” and “nonbelievers.”
There’s enough of that crap happening in today’s world, move on.

It's like the BioDiesel, don't let it sit in our humid climate. BioDiesel goes sour like a jug of milk, so starting it on occasion may help, but you have to use it up, if the fuel sitting in the tank is a year old, it's going to be sour if it is a high content of bio. I am no chemist, but the pumps coming in gummed up seized and won't run is happening more and more. DO NOT RUN BIODIESEL IN A TRACTOR THAT SITS A LOT! Us fuel pump rebuild shops can't keep up as it is lol! Some say it's good for business, but it's not the good kind of business.

You should consider yourself lucky. I have seen time after time in my repair business where the ethinol itself breaks down into a slime and cloggs up the carburetor jets and passages where the fuel system would otherwise be clean.

Well mine runs fine on non ethanol gas not so fine on ethanol contaminated gas.You're probably referring to the old 66-88 models with the fully enclosed engines.

When I used to cut hay with a D10 on a hot day after running it for about 30minutes it would start to run poorly,take the hood off and it would be fine apparently the alcohol in the gas was causing vapor lock.Went back to 100% gas solved the problem. I leave the side panels off my Oliver 1550 gas so the heat of the motor isn't heating the gas tank.About the only people I know that claim to like Ethanol are those financially
benefiting from growing corn.Ironically the largest seller off non ethanol gasoline in my area is a farmers coop.

Same here. Pulled the carb apart on my 25 year old rebuilt WC. Inside looked like the day I put it together and had E10 in it 100% of those 25 years. AaronSEIA

Just up the street from my son’s house, A Murphy Oil gas station will soon open, the sign say’s ‘ethanol free gas available’.
Hope it will be the 87 octane variety, don’t want to pay more for the higher octane grades.
Some Walmart’s also have ethanol free gas, but not any that I know of in the Midland/Odessa area.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

I'm with you Victory. Our WD45 was bought new in 1953 by my dad. Don't use it much now. Run an auger once in a while or move a wagon. Been running E10 since it became available 30+ years ago. Starts with a touch of the starter and runs great. Steve
