Jack, older engines are corroding inside out with E10. ask a small engine mechanic or a boat mechanic. they don't get run often or long enough to overcome the ethanol because it's in the fuel supply. as the motor sits , the vegatation derived alcohol stays at work causing damage. it's probably a conspiracy to get us out of our paid for pollutant generators and into the showroom finance loop. � =(;D) � � VW - scene , not herd � � � � �mike

Subject: E15 fuel?
 
I read that "[...] the Environmental Protection Agency has approved a
new policy that will allow states to raise the blend to up to 15 percent
ethanol (also known as E15), approved for use for cars and light trucks
from the model year 2001 and later."

There is concern that some older vehicles may be unhappy with the blend.

Anyone have any idea whatsoever what running E15 might do for our engines?
