Ethanol and sunoco 110

[jhall2]

I live in the greater atlanta area of georgia, where we are forced to buy 10% ethanol mixed gasoline. I know a lot of equipment manufactures ask that you not run this in the units that you purchase from them but I have no choice, other than running my mower, trimmers.etc with sunoco 110 racing fuel at almost $7 a gallon. Thoughts? experience? any truth to the matter? I guess i could drive to alabama and fill out a barrel...haha.

I did it for a while myself, they sell 109.5 leaded down at the station near our race track...

I did some reading up on this stuff, it appears racing fuel isn't actually gasoline,
I found most of this via Google, they say it's made up of mostly additives.

So what I used to do is get a gallon of the stuff...
Then dump like a pint in every 5 gallon container.

Cheapest "seafoam" I ever bought.

I eventually quit doing it, not sure if it ever did much good thou I don't think much
harm came of it either, and I think it was kind of fun while it lasted.

Just use the ethanol gas. Mid grade or better. I've been doing it ever since they did away with MTBE.

I'm thinking it must be the diaphragms in the carburetors
that are effected by ethanol; I can't think of anything else.

It eats on any rubber lines too.

For the two cylce equipment you have, go to a good synthetic two cylce oil to help that end. You could also put a few drops in the fuel tank of your mower too if it makes you feel better.
