Ethanol

Post by 1surfer »

Does anyone recommend a particular anti ethanol fuel additive for older power wagon type engines ?

Thanks. None near where I live. Also not accurate. I know of two listed in Co that do not sell non ethanol. Wondering what everyone else uses.

I have found that a 10-20% mix of 110 LL avgas does wonders. Hit up your local small airport.

I just run 93 octane and put a few oz's (like count 1,2,3 ok that's enough) of Marvel Mystery oil in every other tank, keeps the carb from oxidizing. You don't have to worry about putting to much either and it's cheap.
