<div dir="ltr">Hello Dave</div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr">I haven't seen anyone respond regarding an additive which offsets the shortcomings of gas with ethanol. It will be interesting to see if anyone knows of such an animal. <br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr">Regarding damage, I can only offer that I've used ethanol laced fuel in all my vehicles without issue for many years including the Tiger and a 1969 BSA. However, it has quickly compromised several small-engine carburetors on chain saws (2T) and weedeaters (4T). A carb rebuild or replacement of the whole carb, which is cheap, makes the implement immediately start and run normally again. This problem does not occur using no-alcohol gas. So I am convinced ethanol fuel has one or more damaging components but the number and amount of susceptible materials in my vehicles seems to be modest.<br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr">While there is a station which sells alcohol free fuel in my county, it is too far away to be practical. In addition to the av-gas option I thought I'd mention that there is a local fuel distributor who supplies no alcohol "race gas", by the gallon or drum, to drivers at the local dirt track. It would be a little pricey to fuel a street car this way but it might be considered depending on the volume required. <br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr">Good Luck.</div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr">Terry</div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr">**********************************************************<br clear="none"></div><div><br clear="none"></div>
