“E15 voids the warranty on small engines.”

By “small”, you mean like those under the hood of a car, right? Many cars made in the last 20 years specifically limit ethanol to 10%, as mentioned in their owner manuals.

Cars older than that, good luck. It’s going to be a “hot summer” with lots of car and home fires.

This also reduces gas mileage, so just like shrinkflation of food, you pay as much or more for less.

...and with seasonal use engines like a snowblower the ethanol basically rots in the fuel lines during the summer unless treated or drained.

I always look for “off road” or “racing fuel” with a high octane and no ethanol for my small engines.

It’s against the law to use E15 in small engines of course it voids the warranty. E15 is not replacing E10 it’s in addition too E0 and E10 and E85. Some places have blender pumps with yellow lines and handles that can make E20 to E85 at a custom.ratio that the user tells the pump to make. It still.stands that anything other than E10 used in a small off road engines is a federal crime virtually no one is prosecuted for it bit crime none the less. Most small engine makers now have changed from 100+ year old girl and rubber seals and floats to neoprene or nitrile elastomers those new engines can and do run just fine on E10 as has been pointed out by other people already one who like myself leaves fuel E10 in both cases for months in my chainsaw, and portable generator tanks with red fuel.stabilizer it.keeps for 6+ months

China has the right idea take waste gas use American technology to make.Ethanol from gas they were going to vent anyways.

The same technology can be used to take stalks,straw,wood scraps, MSW, sewage sludge pretty much anything with carbon in it that you can gassify and make second generation ethanol from it cheap too the.chicoms don’t do back unless it’s cheap.
