NOT REALLY. You see,a lot of the driving is in temps that are 78 PLUS(meaning higher)temps,in heavy city traffic,and pulling loads. SO,YES, it does occur,and quite frequently,with the E-10 fuels.
At times, (such as last summer) we can reach temps of 90-100 f.,so laugh all you want...at 61 yrs old, I don't feel like setting along the road,in the heat !
Also,I am moving to ARKANSAS,in a couple of months,which,as you MAY know has a LOT higher temps,and I want to be sure the problem is gone!
Oh,and by the way...E-10 fuels will boil at lower temps,and only have a shelf life of 100 days. Also,anything more than .5% of water in it,can render E-10 ethanol fuels unusable ! That's only 4tbsp,per gallon !
