Put in 11.7 gallons. Can ran FINE right before the refueling, NO problems whatsoverer.
Right after started stumbling, idle speed droping, dying. Any ideas? Gas station sais gas is fine, and I did not put diesel, at least I do know I put in regular unleded handle. Thanks! |

doesnt depend how old it is to accept the mix...most US Gas is E10 = 10% ethanol.... E85 is 85% ethanol the AFR is completely different It needs to be way richer to work!
 I just converted my car into straight ethanol... No more detonation from bad gas for me!

I hope you carefully replaced virtually all fuel lines/parts/components, as hot alcohol under pressure will eat through everything designed to withstand gasoline only
under these conditions. The chemical interactions are entirely different.
