In Reply to: Ethanol gas posted by shullpa on December 02, 2010 at 17:00:40:
All I can tell you guys that "love" ethanol. It makes me a lot of money in repairs. I get twice as many carburetors to rebuild now that they blend ethanol. I also can never use any two cycle mix that is over a few weeks old as it will not run in my chain saw or string trimmer.
I had a can that had some two cycle mix that had been mixed on Labor Day weekend. I know this because I had mixed it for the grand kid"s go cart. I had left the fuel can in the shed with the go cart. It will barely burn. You can pour on the ground and it will not light with a match. Take fresh gas, same spot, and it will flash.
I hate all of the stale gas I get each year in my older equipment that is still gas powered. The ethanol supporters here in Iowa have made it about impossible to get gas without it in it.
If it is so "good" why then does it need all of the tax subsidies??? All those ethanol plants around here aren"t paying a lick in property taxes either. I say let the customer buy what they want not what government pushes on you. Those that like it can buy all they want I just want to be able to buy my gas without it.
I will not even go into how much it is costing me in higher feed prices.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
