" Is all the gas ethanol free and ethanol added when tanker truck is filled? "
That is a great question and one that folks in some parts of the country don't understand. The states you see offering E Free gas are mainly on the outside area where E is made. These are the states that have had problems with E. Most of the E is blended at refineries. Those are the folks that have no problems with E. In my area E is added when the gasoline is being loaded in the tanker to be delivered to the stores that sell the gas.
Only problems I've had has been with small engines. If gas with E I buy for chainsaws I've gotta use it before 15 days or the saws won't start and have to dump the gas and buy new. Since we have E Free I have gas in my cans and saws that's several months old now and it's still good gas and no problems starting the small engines.
And yes we have gasoline that does not have Ethanol in it. I've tested it to make sure. You can do the test yourself without buying a kit. Use a small clear container and put a little water in the container and set it on a level surface. Make a mark on the outside with a marker on the water line. Then add gas and shake it up. Let it sit over night so the water settle back to the bottom. Then check the water line you marked and if it's higher than it was when you marked it that gas has Ethanol in it. If not the water line will be the same as when you started.
Folks in areas that only have Ethanol gas at the pump use this to remove the ethanol from the gas for their small engine use too. The ethanol will mix with the water and you just dump that out and have straight gasoline left.
I'm thankful I have a gas station within 4 miles of me and they now offer gas with E and one tank dedicated to E Free. The E Free cost more but gas mileage is better. Seeing more and more stations offering E Free now too. There's 5 station in my local driving area that offer E Free.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
