I have an H, M, and 303 combine with C221 engine that all run gas. I have experienced some exhaust valve seat regression on my M (the one I run the most and do the hardest pulling with).

A few years back, the government mandated that the volatility of gasoline be reduced. I have noticed since then that, when cold, my tractors and combine experience a good deal of "sputtering' and stalling when first running. After being warmed up things seem to be ok.

I use 10 percent ethanol blend in my tractors, especially my M which has high-compression pistons. I have noticed that it has cut down on the "diesling" on shut-off I experienced with Regular gas. Ethanol gas has about 89 octane, as compared to 87 for Regular and 92 for Premium. It is a good compromise, running better than Regular and not as pricey as Premium.
