Chris, Unfortunatey ethanol is NOT A CHOICE at gas pumps (bowsers?) in the US midwest. ALL gasoline in the midwest US contains at least 10 % ethanol and some can contain much more. Low octane ("regular") or "High"er octane ("super") is usually the only choice, but both have 10% + ethanol. Often there is a midgrade, but also with 10% + ethanol. I an NOT into buying cheap gas - I do buy the highest octane I can find , but I am still concerned with the ethanol causing my tank to corrode or rust (and my fuel filter plugging as a result of the corrosion) - hence the stainless steel tank question. > Hey Dave, don't you have a choice at the bowser? > Ethanol or not? > High octane or not? > The original factory owners manual says healeys need 100 -105 British > octane. > > You should be at the highest octane pump available in your country. > It's your engine.
