Tim, you say "converting" over to enthanol. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "converting". Are you asking will it affect your old lead lubricated valves in the same way unleaded gas does? I'm sure it does. It does dry stuff our (gaskets, diaphrams, etc) as priviously posted. It does help evaporate water, so less need for Heat, or the equivelent. It also cleans the insides of carbs up too, which was a big complaint when it had a tendency to "gum" stuff up by cleaning years of varnish and crap out. But as priviously stated, change a filter or two, and will work fine. And if you're buying gasoline in northern Indiana, chances are excellent that it already has enthanol in it (check the pump). As for where to buy it directly, not sure. Was an ethanol plant in Goshen on Pike St, was a farm coop that was booming in the 70's. Think the plant's still there - not sure. There's a massive plant somewhere west of Southbend, can see it from the Interstate. Will they sell to you directly? Don't know. I'm assuming that you're not going to try to run that stuff straight in your engines, so why not get it premixed from the supplier? After 911, if you go walking up to a plant asking questions, innocent ones at that, might have to answer a few too. Mark
