I keep reminding people that the Ethanol in our "crap gas" is a lacquer solvent. It has been used in racing fuels since the dawn of racing because it furnishes some of the oxygen used in combustion. As a result, no antique racers that have been raced have any factory paint or decals left on the fuel tank. Ethanol is used because, by it’s oxygen contribution, it gives a 20% boost in power, but using it also uses 10% more fuel. . . 😆
