I noticed at the Citgo gas stations around me they start putting a big sticker over the pump that says "10% ethanol." My dad said to not go there anymore because of this.
So I was wondering if that ethanol is detrimental to our cars? Thanks guys. |

one problem with ethanol is that it eats your fuel lines if they're not made for it and there's too high mixtures.
we've just got some information from Mercury marine to where i work, they've recieved more and more questions whether it's possible to run their engines on ethanol, and the answer was simply no, and if ethanol was your only option to run it was an absolute maximum mixture of 10% and for no longer than necessary dunno if this applies to cars too but i wouldn't use it if i wasnt sure about it This post has been edited by Predator: Jun 11, 2006 - 6:35 PM --------------------  |
