I should have been more specific. The problem is that ethanol holds moisture and when left in an older carbureted engine for an extended period of time will cause corrosion. Don't tell me you haven't had carb issues in some of your older stuff.

When I test it, it is E85. Drain out the alcohol and it will fire right up with gasoline.
I have research from "Biofuels International" giving all the concerns and details with ethanol including valve deposits, the cold weather starting and fuel filter plugging.
