I have no problem with my antique tractors running on ethanol. i grow corn and 98% of the corn here goes to 5 big ethanol plants. the performance is fine. something happens to the fuel when it sits for 4 to 6 weeks. you get a yellow,then it turns red, and if you wait 4 months black substance on the bottom of your tank. it will do this in any tank. some of mine are rubber lined. since i only have show tractors on gasoline i fill plastic gas cans when needed. this substance will form in the bottom of plastic gas cans. everyone around here that barely runs gas tractors has similar problems. BP,SHELL CITCO,and 2 local farm CO-OPs, brand or octane makes no difference. Aviation gas can set in the tank6 months and nothing will go bad. i was just curious about other peoples experiences. i prefer ethanol. i think it might be the gasoline thats the problem, not the ethanol. i am going to try E-85, and also some marine stabilizer with regular E-10 and see what happens. thanks for everyones insight.
