some make a big deal about ethanol think we still have E-10 here. <BR>You know
who brings up all the issues of what it might do to the fuel system
<BR>especially on FI models. From what could find it was not until 2012 we had
<BR>E-10 here yet we've had it since at least 2003 . I never saw any issue
with <BR>water and rust yet you see plenty of Videos on You Tube yet each has
a <BR>product to sell you .</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE>

face=Arial>Oh don't get me wrong, as I've seen what it does to the insides of
carbs, and what it does to fuel hoses as well. We've had 10% ethanol here for 30
years now, so I'm kind of used to it. But if we've had it that long, you guys
out in California probably had it or something even worse for those first 10 or
so years. I haven't really noticed much on FI vehicles, other than hoses going
bad. In fact I've got some FI vehicles here that seem to run on turpentine (old
gas with ethanol in it). The biggest issue I have with today's fuels is
that they loose their vitamins quickly over time. And that makes for hard
starting, poor running, and a lack of acceleration. I know they've changed how
they blend fuels, because gas from 10 or even 15 years ago was a better
quality than what we're getting today.And yes, I'm old enough to remember tuning
a car by looking at the tail pipe color (something you can't do today). But here
in Michigan (and other eastern and some midwestern states), we get a summer
blend, and a winter blend. If they can do that twice a year, you know they've
been tweeking on it over the years.</FONT></DIV>

face=Arial>Sorry If I've gone off the deep end, but even Keith will tell you
there is a difference in fuels, and it's not just the ethanol they're adding to
it.<BR>
