Non Ethenol gas in your area ?
Just wondering if anyone else can buy pure gas with no ethanol added. I can buy it in my area and use it only in the jeeps and mowers. It cost 50.00 cents more per gallon, but it's worth it I guess. I don't have to worry about it going bad, better for carbs and don't use Sta-bil.
Re: Non Ethenol gas in your area ?
It WILL go bad and it only takes about three to four months to do so. The ethanol is not what makes the gas go bad, it is all of the additives they put in it. The ethanol just causes phase separation in addition to the other problems PLUS does not play well with rubber parts. So you had better put Stabil in the non ethanol gas or you will have green fuzz in the carburetor. You just won't have a completely corroded away carburetor.

The biggest enemy of gasoline, with or without ethanol, is oxygen. Keep your tank full, especially when stored over the winter, and keep the tank sealed. Also keep the lids on your gas cans good and tight.

15 min drive to nearest station that has it... trading post on reservation. Only thing I put in m151 and small engines round here. Costs more of course but less headache and I don't get the black mold that seems to develop round the gas caps down here with the ethanol.

There are ZERO in NJ and it is illegal to run anything BUT gas from a paid pump in your car here. I should ALSO mention it is illegal to pump your own gas in NJ!!! You can pump diesel but not gasoline.
Governor Rainbow was on vacation for a couple weeks at his mansion in Italy (see the ironic part here
?) and while he was gone his assistant governor signed a few more bills but when he got back he sighed roughly 30 bills into the law the day he returned. That was right after the last shootings so of coarse there were a few new gun laws in there to keep NJ on top of the strictest state thing but the rest all involved the regular citizen paying more taxes so "others" could have free college, health, housing and medical.
Lets just hope that with all of these tariffs and countries not buying corn the government will finally realize that it is not feasible to keep trying to force it into gasoline and in the process force farmers to grow corn over and over in fields that should have been rotated many years ago. You cannot grow one crop and one crop only year after year. The soil will collapse! Only I think between 1-5% of the corn grown now is food corn!!!!
