Two men’s opinions

I’m not sure it’s just one chemical that does it. I haven’t got that far into it. I’m working on it. I suspect it is a reaction of two or more chemicals that is causing the issues.

My brother refuses to buy anything other than clear fuel for his dirt bikes and yard stuff. And yet, every year he is still cleaning his stuff up from letting fuel sit in it.

That should be his clue it’s not the ethanol in the fuel, but it hasn’t sunk in yet.

I unnerstand. I know when Evan and I removed the tank from Vixen after she had been sitting since the eighties, we were totally expecting a crap fest, but the tank was almost spotless. I told Evan that it was due to non ethanol and possibly even some left over leaded gas. It has about 2" of gas in the bottom. It smelled like the obligatory "old gas" but I saved it and used it to start a barrel fire. It went POOF just like new gas would. I am sure it would have still run the car.
