Re: Starting issue

Ethanol is the biggest joke played on car and truck owners besides those gas saver trinkets they used to sell in the back of magazines.

When I was in Poulsbo Wa on my sailboat a few years ago I met a gent with a 32 Packard roadster who was lugging 5 gallon gas cans down to the marina fuel dock to fill them and pack them back up an fill the car and then take two full ones when he headed home. Said ethanol had ruined two fuel pumps and some of the carb innards on it in the past. Here we have a Conoco station that sells ethanol free premium.
