    Don't understand why everybody is freaked out.
    It has been at the PUMPS her for a couple years if not longer. Its in a separate pump by itself.
    You voted folks in Office that is saving the world for us to use it. If you purchase a auto to run it you are gonna pay thousands of dollars more for the car or truck, and then it gets less fuel milage when you run 15% ethanol.
    We do not yet know the effects of breathing Ethanol.
    When I used to work for the Boat Doctor. we did work for 4 chemical engineers.
    All 4 said Ethanol of any level should of never been put in gas.
    One said he was in Brazil for a year breathing the fumes from auto's running it.
    He had to come back to the U.S. and go to the doctor for 10 months to treat a bronical infection he got from breathing ethanol fumes.
    Said he will not go back to work there.
    Ethanol also draws a lot of moisture to the gasoline. And ethanol don't store for long

    I think the big problem is the warranty issue from using goubermint mandated fuel...It is not a separate pump back here...Never has been and all grades contain E 15...

    We continued to pump gas out of boats over and over and over cause even with stabilizer it went bad and the boat motors wouldn't start.
    We pumped it out in the customers gas cans.
    They took it and poured it out on the ground,
    Somebody said it was against EPA regulations to do that.
    They said it was 5.00 a gallon for somebody to take it.
    The EPA wouldn't come and pick it up for free.
    So they poured it out. They didn't care.

    The EPA should be disbanded. It's filled with econuts that are ruining everything they try to "fix".

    So does harley . When you enter the advanced tunning tables its there to click on .options are 10 or 20 percent it just shifts the stiotch tables from 14:7 to 14.3 to14:0 no big deal just elongate injector on time takes more fuel and less oxygen to burn liquor! Corn liquor that is.lol
