Re: burning 2 cycle mix gas in your truck?

[David Stanton]

I helped my next door neighbor a few years ago do a difficult emptying of an inaccessible gas tank under the floor of a late 1970’s Ski Nautique boat where they had 10% ethanol gas in it (a vented tank) over a Minnesota winter and phase separation occurred big time. In the spring, trying to start it, this stuff got pulled into gas lines fuel pump and carb, all of which we had to purge out. Thanks, Tubs, for pointing out inaccuracies in the article I posted that I was not aware of. Accurate or not, I’ve seen proof that phase separation does occur and can be a real pain to clean out, so best to err on the side of being overly careful to prevent it, and I agree – filling a vented tank to the top helps whether there is ethanol in the gas ornot – I do that with my I’O ski boat with ethanol-free gas and no stabilizer of any kind – has worked for the last 18 winters.
