JMOR said: (quoted from post at 06:26:35 06/17/11) I could be persuaded that ethanol blend isn't necessarily bad, BUT old ethanol blend IS BAD. FACT: you could store 1960's gasoline for 30 years & run it just fine (& that is personal experience talking), but you store ethanol blend, well under one year, and it takes on moisture & separates and the goo settles to the bottom. Put some in a glass jar, set it on a shelf & observe for a year. I have & you will see it, too. Since it seems we may be stuck with ethanol, the answer is don't store it, always use fresh....just like milk & bread.

JMOR is right. Modren gas start to go bad about the 90 day mark. Gas stablizers can extend that by about 90 days but only if added when the gas is fresh.

I run E10 in my M. Has electric start but a couple times a year I hand crank it just to impress the grandkids. Starts right up.
