Those blaming ethanol for their fuel system related engine damages likely already had very old fuel components way over-due for replacement and never did their required maintenance on their motors.

Now, if your motor is old enough it was designed for leaded gas, non-ethanol fuel alone is not going to help you.



IMO this is so wrong in so many ways.


Grew up on Tawakoni and Texoma before hybrids and stripers existed on either.
