If you're going to do a poll, do an actual poll. The board lets you start a poll on any new thread.

I run mine on Wild Turkey. Runs great, and when I break down the fuel bowl makes a great glass while I wait for the tow truck.

Re: Ok, i'll poke the bear..Ethanol or Straight Gasoline ?
I use ethanol if I plan to use it up and then straight non E when it will sit. I use marine stabil in both. I use MMO also.

LOL. I don't think mine has ever made it to 50% diesel, but, it does get some at times. When it gets to 40º it's tucked away for the winter. Actually, now, so am I. |

Re: Ok, i'll poke the bear..Ethanol or Straight Gasoline ?
I have encountered problems with ethanol in my Model A, my older cars, and even my motorcycles. Ethanol eats up everyting like gaskets and even the aluminum in the carburetors. I now only use non-ethanol gas (where available) with additives. No problems for the past three years!

Re: Ok, i'll poke the bear..Ethanol or Straight Gasoline ?
I have non-ethanol gas delivered to the house from the Co-op. Last delivery was $3.47 a gallon. Worth every penny when you factor in the price of a Honda carb on a 10hp pump. Enough small engines to justify the extra cost.

Re: Ok, i'll poke the bear..Ethanol or Straight Gasoline ?
I live in Orange County, NY where only 10% ethanol is available. However, two adjacent counties (Sullivan and Ulster) have some stations with ethanol free gas available so I try to keep my gas tank at approximately 25% non-ethanol; so far no apparent problems.

Re: Ok, i'll poke the bear..Ethanol or Straight Gasoline ?
As stated, a Model A will run on most any fuel, so what ever is convenient and lowest in
price is what I run. Have not run diesel or kerosene yet. LOL

Re: Ok, i'll poke the bear..Ethanol or Straight Gasoline ?
My car sits over the summer here in Florida when it is too hot to enjoy the Model A. I use ethanol when I know I am going to burn it up and non-ethanol when it is going to be sitting for six months. Ed

In WW2 Model A’s ran on generators fed with wood ! Indeed, they will run on anything !
