Same way as unleaded gas. Use an additive or. . . Running ethanol in a stocker is a huge waste. The compression should be raised to get decent mileage. I saw photos of an ethanol fueled engine from a taxi with 300k on it. Looked like a gasoline engine with 50k on it.

The lead had a role in lubricating the valve and preventing valve seat recession. LRP also has an additive for this purpose. With the use of straight ethanol how is the valve lubrication achieved. regards Phil Paton *************************************************************** This message is intended for the addressee named and may contain confidential information.
