great, thanks for the tips. i won't continue to mix after the 55 galls in
used up, so I don't anticipate any short-term problems with the low mixtures.
Ed, I have tried to make biodiesel with the ethanol about 10 times with no
success. I am
can anyone tell me the maximum amount of ethanol that you can blend with
gasoline and burn in an unmodified gasoline engine? I have a 55 gall drum of
ethanol lying around that I can't make biodiesel with and I am looking for a
suitable use. thanks.

Hi Jack,
You will probably get the answer from the whole list, but
up to 10% Ethanol seems to be a limit that all agree on.

As someone else said 10% would be fine. Don't bother buying anything
higher than 87 octane if you add the ethanol, the ethanol will raise the
octane a couple points. You may want to consider adding some dry gas
if you mix the gasoline with ethanol. Water will cause problems with the
mixture.
