Ethanol is killing my equipment I have lots of small engines which many do not get used often and the Ethanol is causing a lot of problems with their fuel systems I use Sta-Bil and it helps but are any name brand gas companies making gasoline without adding this stuff. I cannot think of one good logical reason to use it any where, but, that is just my Humble Opinion! So I do not want to start a war here, I would rather hear how to handle this situation since it is not going away. Thanks

I have been doing a lot of repairs over the years due to ethanol.It eats up rubber parts in carbs,fuel pumps,and gaskets.Star Tron seems to help with ethanol issues.It must be used religiously for it to really work.

Most localities have some stations that advertise "Ethonol Free GAs". You might seek out such a station near you. Here is a data base of Ethonol Free Gas Stations nationwide:

I have a local supplier that always has ethanol free gas. That is all I have ever run in my gas machine's especially my BOAT.

Some Shell and Exxon stations in this area have pure gas. I guess I'll start using it rather than the stuff I've been using.

I'm going to look into this Product Line for Gas and Diesel. From what I read on the web site It looks like a valuable product for a growing need I have ... Car and Tractor restorers can really benifit from a product like this and it turns out the products are available at many places near me here and the farm in Alabama. Thanks again!

Thanks for posting a link Ethanol Free Gas- As it turns out there is some in my locale. Yes, Ethanol is killing our equipment, but you have now given many of us a solution
