Call you local boat dealer and he might know the fuel stations that stock that as boat owners always avoid any ethanol blended gas.
They sell the mash for feed. Its a scam. That mash only has the sugars removed and it still has the proteins in it.
So what they are doing is using that corn liquor for gasoline additive and then getting the subsidy for it and still making the money selling the mash for stock feed.
This is why marinas and airports typically will sell non ethanol gasoline. It is an inconvenience when you can not start your snow blower. It can be a life and death situation if you have a problem with your boat of plane engine.
It destroys small engines with plastic parts internal to their design and cars made before it was contemplated as standard. It makes certain parts brittle, clog and the mixtures for air/fuel get out of adjustment. The is also out-of-phase separations in fuel tanks that can be very problematic.
Interesting. Do you plan to do this every time you are going to fill up? And, what is your finished cost of gasoline after this? Insane price + 15% and you have to add octane booster so more cost.
QT sells it.
We have a "captain's choice" fuel at our boar club. https://www.rayenergy.com/page/marine-gas-21.html
Go look at your owners manual. Virtually all of them (except for FLEX Fuel cars) say that any gas over 10% will harm you engine and the warranty will be VOID if you use it.
Additives will protect the fuel separation issue but not the damage to internal parts for small engines and other engines not designed to be exposed. Those of us that were dumb enough to try and blend our own two cycle fuels learned this the hard way over the last 20 years. Just one fuel tank can ruin parts requiring a rebuild.
All part of the plan to make the middle class subservient and then disappear. The leftists feel guilty about the middle class having wealth and using too many resources (except them, because they are ‘virtuous’ in their thoughts).
Destructive, blind twits, all of them!
For now, I have 2 stations nearby with non ethanol fuel. When the 25 year old truck gets down to a half tank again, I will fill up with the non ethanol and alternate with the 15% ethanol if necessary. I hope it works out.
I’ve spent the last 25 years rebuilding every one of my 2-cycle engines because of frigging ethanol. It eats at seals, rubber, plastic film, leaves GUNK and destroys plastic fuel line tubes.
Like you, the only option for me for yard machines, etc. is NO ETHANOL GAS.
Once again, the Rats and Biden administration attacking the American people.
I used to say I am getting angrier by the minute. Now it is angrier by the second.
Not so much. The processing is different. Another post here goes into this a bit. But, they chemically treat the corn to remove most of the starch content and convert that to corn liquer. The remainder is sold as a feed additive.
It’s a 90s Yoda.. almost indestructible
Bottom line: Deep State really, really, really doesn't want us driving.
“the eliminated ethanol reduces your fuel mileage.”
If I can keep my old truck running, I’ll do it.
I’m going to start mixing 1/2 tank non ethanol recreational gas with 1/2 tank of ethanol blend.
