[quote="HFJ... i've never had the flu, but i still believe it's very real. i also believe the local guy who fixes 2 cycle stuff when he told me his business has skyrocketed since this started.
he also told me that they sent some samples of gas from pumps labeled E10 for analysis, and one came back as E66.
i've never had issues with my tractors or trucks, but all my 2 cycle stuff gets E0 now.[/quote]
You stated a sample came back as E-66 and yet you always use E-0. How do you know you are using E-0....are you testing each batch to verify?
The local gas station cashier was telling people the station's gas did not contain ethanol. One morning at coffee several of the guys were talking about how much better their trucks were running and the fuel mileage increased by 10 to 20%...etc, etc. There were no labels on the pumps as such and the price was the same as the other station down the road. I purchased a few gallons and pulled a sample to test - it did indeed contain ethanol. When I placed the test jar on the table and explained the phase separation - suddenly no one talked about how well their trucks were running.
To test: place one part water in a glass jar, mark the water level. Add ten parts gasoline to the jar and shake. Allow to settle a minute. Observe the water level; for E-0 the level will remain the same, any ethanol in the gasoline will combine with the water and cause the level to increase. This is called phase separation.
