Re: Ethanol vs premium

[fisherman6]

The bad part of the ethanol blend is when the ethanol starts to pick up water. If it gets used up before that happens you probably won’t notice any issues as long as the rubber is compatible and you don’t have an original cork float. The water and ethanol seem to combine and become corrosive. When it sits the problems seem.to start. I have had a number of 4 stroke carbs look just like that one. They are very difficult or impossible to clean. I’m no expert but I avoid ethanol in my small engines that sit any length of time. I use Sta-Bill but have not tried the ethanol treatments out there yet. They might be great but I can’t say.
