Very interesting and pertinent topic! Sure don't want my babies dying of ethanol
poisoning. The past couple days research has yielded some info that seems
contradictory to me...maybe not to others. Number one...carbs being hurt by ethanol,
and that an alum carb would be an answer. However, alc also causes oxidation of alum. Well, not the alc but the water it attracts. Glad I live in the "dry heat". Second...E10 and 85 have octane around 110-115, but produce approx 30% less power and mileage. So what gives? Is it like the higher proof you drink the less you feel like working?
