travis6767 Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 does anybody run 92 or 93 octane fuel with ethanol in it because the only gas station around me that sold 92 just went out of bussines, so am i ok running ethanol? thanks Quote
killshee Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 the one by my house is 92/93 ...10%ethanol i run it and cant tell the diff... Quote
2001Stroker Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 Bush made it a federal law that all unleaded pump gas has to be at least 10% ethanol. Quote
AKheathen Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 Bush made it a federal law that all unleaded pump gas has to be at least 10% ethanol. that's weird, i can only get 90 octane because the stations had to get rid of the ethanol few years back Quote
F.T.W. Banshee Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 All the gas around me is 10%. I have 87,89,93, and 110 octane at my local gas station. Quote
peterlocal22 Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 10% around me too. have not had any problems yet but i heard it puts a bit of a beating on your carbs??? not sure how true that is Quote
2001Stroker Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 Very true. The problem with ethonal is, once it sits for a few months, it basically turns back into corn. It sludges up bad. Not a good idea to let it sit in your carb bowls while your bike sits over the winter. Really, if you store it for the winter, you should also drain the tank. Quote

AKheathen Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 87, 88.5, 90. i belive we also have the highest amount of seasonal vehicles per capita. it makes sense to improve air quality with so many running on old gas coming out of storage Quote
Dinner Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 Fuel Station near me sells all sorts of fuel ratings, from 87-116 and everything in between. Then propane, Diesel, Kerosene, all that fun stuff as well. And yes don't leave fuel sitting, especially with ethanol and 2 stroke oil...goes south pretty quick! Quote
Boo_69 Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 all stations have 10% ethonal. it is even hard to get conventional gas (any gas without ethonal) at any termial around michigan anyways. just don't let water get in. the ethonal will suspend the water in your tank instead of seperating. i have pumped out many a tank because of that problem.
