[Farmall] Ethanol (was Re: [AT] Gas Tank Liner

[E. John Puckett]

In Mo. we have had the 10% ethanol mandatory for a little over 2 years, 
though it has been all you cold get at many stations longer than that.  
I have measured a 5% drop in mileage on my vehicles with the ethanol, 
but have not seen any problems with the small engines that has been 
mentioned in previous posts.

All of my vehicles pretty much lost 10% in mileage. Other problem or it may be a benefit- the ethanol acts as a solvent so it will loosen up deposits in fuel tank and systems as well as breaking down components as Mike mentions. I have experienced the fuel line issue he talks about on my saw as well.
