Ok, i'll poke the bear..Ethanol or Straight Gasoline ?

[ETAModel]

Lets do A Poll..how many use Ethanol Gas, how many use Straight gasoline, and how many use a blend ??

Me, I've been using straight Gasoline, and some MMO.

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

[ETAModel]

Now its a poll...let the games begin.

[Bill G]

Mostly Ethanol gas but I put in some MMO

[Oldgearz]

Ethanol pump gas plus MMO.

Model A [ or any of my old vehicles] get anything and everything thrown at them. The 'A' get run the most and gets all the old nasty stale chain saw, weedeater, lawnmower fuel along with the cheap stuff [ did I really say cheap ! ] at the pump. A Model A, at least mine, doesn't care. It'll run on anything including some kerosene/diesel at times.

ethanol pump gas and mmo.

[shew01]

Ethanol free and MMO

I also run the carburetor dry when I put the car back into the garage.

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.

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.

I also have used gas that the lawnmower knocked on, and when it gets to 50%diesel (usually drained out of car that got wrong fuel)it starts to get hard to start below 40 degrees and smokes a lot till fully warmed up

[bob from red oak]

Regular gas (ethonal) with occasional MMO.

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.

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!

[denis4x4]

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.

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.

[jayvee34]

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

[Ed in Maine]

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

[hazelhoff]

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

[Dougs 28]

Straight gas with MMO.
