What Gasoline that has NO ethanol in it?

[Mtn Wudy]

When I heard about it here where I live ,,I let the Wooden Car get extra low on fuel ...
I filled it up and headed home...There’s a long hill on my route home ...I could feel the difference as headed up hill .....I used to have to almost floor it to hold the speed ....
When I pulled into the driveway ,, the idle speed was noticeably higher ...
I use it in all my yard and garden equipment .....!!!

Maybe low volume production and distribution over which to spread the fixed overhead costs?

Lot's of guys around here go to the local small airport and buy Aviation gas to run in their mowers and chainsaws. Open to the public 24 hrs a day, takes credit cards. Also I'm told is good to use in your old cars that don't get run much as it has a long shelf life.

I'd almost bet that before this morning (and some subsequent Googlin') that there weren't a half a dozen 'Barners that had ever even heard of a "Jumo". DD

I think most if not all of the Wawas here in Florida have ethanol free gas.

Not sure about US stations, but 91 octane at most of the stations in Canada is ethanol free. The problem is, and it is small, is that most pumps have one dispensing hose, so you probably get a half gallon of whatever the previous person bought.

Easy to come by here, all I use in my lawn equipment.

I've been using 10 % for years and years and more years. Never had any fuel system problems. The gas I put in in October is the gas I use to start the car in April. Always started - no carb, fuel pump or tank problems. Don't use any crap like Sta-Bil either. Why the complaints?

JU88 was quite a formidable bomber.

On the subject of petrol...sorry gas. here in NZ the majority of our stuff has no ethanol. We have 91, 95, 98 (RON) Octane rating and some stuff called "Force10" which is an ethanol blend that only one company (Gull) supplies

There is a few videos on YouTube showing how to remove ethanol from gas but you would probably need to really want ethanol free and have no access to go thru the process.

Fill gas can with gas. Gas can needs a valve on side at bottom. Add water and a little food coloring. Let it sit overnight and the ethanol binds to the water and both settle to the bottom of the gas can. Without disturbing(shaking or moving) open the valve at bottom of gas can and drain out water until the color changes. All the colored water is out and only ethanol free gas remaining. This does affect the octane as it is calculated with the originally added ethanol. You can add some methyl hydrate if worried about any lingering water. Like I said, a process, u gotta really want it. Especially if you want any kind of quantity...

I just use 91 or 94, only thing in BC that is ethanol free - except Petro Canada, has ethanol in all grades and the highest percentage of any gas station.

In New York we get it at Stewarts .... its a chain store, mini mart

This was discussed extensively on the H.A.M.B. a couple of years ago. The conclusion was that it is not economically feasible and to do it in the quantity required in any significant amount requires manipulating large amounts of very volatile, flammable commodity.

Agreed.

by law its supposed to have a sticker on the pump telling you what you are buying. i run whatever in my cars, but the chainsaws and small engines get real gas from a pump that states "non oxygenated, ethanol free" . i dont know every state, but its not hard to find here in the swamp

Same here. It's worth it for me. When I hit the starter and the engine fires up instantly instead of cranking for minutes, you'll understand the difference. Ethanol is a politicians way of buying votes.

Lucky guy I guess, I have had a lot of issues! I stick with No-ethanol and I am much happier with the results. Ethanol attracts moisture. The fuel is easy to come by where I live because of farm and lawn & garden use.

Old photo, prices are much cheaper now!

I too will run the non ethanol as long its available. I let lots of things sit idle too long and the old stale gas is a stinking mess but mess with this ethanol is whole other mess. I bought a mower off of a fellow at works grandfather. His Grandfather is one of those people who use nothing but the cheapest gas. I wish I could show you what the inside of the carburetor looked like! It was a black crusted up web of mess. No cleaning this mess. New carb! Sure glad they didn't have ethanol years ago or we couldn't save any carburetors! Steve

[50fordcoupeman]

I too use only non-ethanol in any thing that has a carb!
