So i have an 86 f150, 300-6 4 speed 4x4 carbed
82 mercury capri 302 t5 carbed
96 bronco 351w xlt
i live in illinois and our governor just changed our fuel blend adding more ethanol, how screwed am i? my daily for now is a 2003 tahoe, am i better leaving everything else sit in the garage

 

In Minnesota the non alcohol no mix pumps are marked with a sign, only for sale for use in home power equipment and off road utility vehicles, I have never seen a station that enfoce that if a vehicle pulled up to the non alcohol pump.

 

You can use additives like Sta-bil for example to help with ethanol. It’s what I do for all my lawn equipment.

 

not to slam sta-bil but why are you burning alcohol in law equipment?

 

I do landscaping and I do not have a gas station around me that sells ethanol free. Same equipment for 5 years now (except I just had to replace my backpack blower) and it’s been working.

Stabil or Startron are your friend

 

Not everybody has access to ethanol-free fuel
Luckily, I do

 

You didn't mention how much but you shouldn't worry with blends up to 10 percent ethanol. Just use a stabilizer if the car is to be stored for a length of time.

 

in illinois its already at 15% if i remember correctly, which ive wondered this before, now he wants a 5% increase at the least

 

Geez! Push for electric vehicles?! I’m guessing you’re not close to a state line either..
