shibiwan Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) Only pure gas I can get here is 100 octane vp racing fuel. Little nicer than I need for the lawn mower unfortunately. Well, if it's a riding mower, makes it worthwhile to soup it up by bumping up the compression. :D F*$#!ing ethanol is just a subsidy for the corn farmers.

blue109 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 couple of my buddies have gone the other way and run pure E85. gas millage sucks and you have to search for stations, but you can run a pewp load of boost!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp Posted April 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 We have ethanol here 365 used to only be in 87 octane it's now working it's way into 93, I try getting ethinol free in all my small engines also use an aditive to combat ethinol and preserves the life of the gas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 To combat ethanol, I only know of two product - Sta-Bil Marine, and Yamaha Fuel Med RX. Both products eat the ethanol in your gas. Both products are also fuel stabilizers. You can get the Sta-Bil Marine at any Wal-Mart. You can get the Yamaha product at any Yamaha motorcycle dealership (they should carry it). The Yamaha product comes in a little 3.2 ounce bottle, similar to the little 2-stroke oil bottles you get for your weedeater, and it should cost under $2 for it. <thumbsup> Shib, believe it or not, I'm very familiar with most of those gas stations on that list - sources for Race Gas in Phoenix. I've been to alot of them before. Also, there's a Love's in Sierra Vista, off Buffalo Soldier Trail, that sells VP100 and VP110 at the pump, but it's not on that list.

shepp Posted April 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) This stuff is called blue star (I think) and it claims right on the label to do so I use it in all my small engine gas mostly as a preservative Edited April 20, 2014 by shepp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
