The blend is OK if you don't let it age. The problem is greatest in 2-cycle machines that get put away with fuel-oil mix still in the tank or in the can of "left over" 2-cycle mix that gets saved for next year. The ethanol blend is just a lot more "perishable" than the gas of old. I have to wonder if a life cycle study would show any advantage (cost or environmental) for the mandated blend.

I use it in all the gasoline powered machines from cars to lawn mowers to chainsaws. I can't point to one single situation where I could blame the fuel. They all seem to be doing just fine. I don't have trouble either hot or cold with my two cycle or four cycle engines. -- Philip _______________________________________ _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
