when i use petrocans 10% ethenol blend, if i let the gas settle in my tank my carbs suck the water from the tank and it doesnt like to go through the bowls. it just *seems* like i am getting two things i dont want from a pump, one being corn fuel and two being water. I just want some bloody gasoline lol... its not that much to ask for. Tired of pulling pannels, draining carbs, cleaning carbs, and dumping gasoline.

id rather deal with the miniscule timing issue thats virtually unnoticable to me from running higher octane then fight with the fuel system. higher octane may take more to burn but water doesnt burn at all.

Ah, for the good old days when you drank the corn fuel and bathed in the water. Hey, I wonder if premium fuel on this side of the pond has reduced alcohol content? I'm gonna E-mail Mobil and see if I can find out.
