Anyone know where the closest EF gas station is to Mansfield/south Arlington area might be? I know the bucee’s in Ennis has it, but anything closer?

You'd be surprised how much ethanol is actually in non-ethanol gas. Here at Fork there are at least 3 stations plus Walmart that sell it.
Many people in the know just use regular gas, which is at least 30 cents a gallon cheaper and then a product named B 12. It generally costs $3 for 15 ounces. You put one ounce per gallon in your tank and you will never have a problem.

4Weight, thanks for the link. Great information. Firm believer in E/F gas.

Here at Fork there are at least 3 stations plus Walmart that sell it. Walmart in Mineola neither sells nor claims to sell ethanol free fuel. I have tested the fuel from the place by the train station in Mineola and it is indeed ethanol free.

4Weight, thanks for the link. Great information. Firm believer in E/F gas. if you have a 2 stroke....100%. I just got an '04 50hp...but I literally cant idle to graph without the motor dying with regular gas. ethanol free not only idles just fine, but starts up quicker. If i had a 4 stroke Id use regular gas....but at least for my motor, the gas matters. I'd run Don's cocktail when I was running regular gas and had the results I describe. Ethanol free all the way....just sucks its so hard to find around me. but it makes such a difference I go out of my way to get it, and am willing to bite the bullet for marina fuel (its ethanol free) prices those times I forget to fill it up with ethanol free gas before the trip, versus filling it up at a gas station around the lake (mostly regular gas).

If your motor wont idle on e10 but will with ethanol free thats just masking a problem that will get worse with time.

This^^^^. I don’t know about “ethanol free gas can still have ethanol in it”. Seems like that would be illegal to label as such if it’s not true but I also don’t know who the ethanol police are.🤔🤷🏻♂️🤪. Further I can not tell any difference in how my 2 cycle Mercury 250XS runs with or without ethanol gas. All that said, if it’s convenient I buy ethanol free when possible because of the countless people who have had problems w/ethanol in their fuel(more for older outboards). Download this app on your phone(free) and it’s been amazingly accurate.

Anyone know where the closest EF gas station is to Mansfield/south Arlington area might be? I know the bucee’s in Ennis has it, but anything closer? The Murphy’s in Weatherford has it. Also the Buccees in North Ft Worth. Weatherford is closest I have found.
