RE: What to do about fuel?

[Paul Lennemann <pjlenn@xxxxxxxxx>]

I read an interesting article the other day in a boating magazine.  It 
talked about stabilizing gas w/ 10% ethanol.  Of course they were 
selling their particular brand of fuel stabilizer, but apparently once 
the alcohol separates out it is much harder to "repair" it with 
additives.  Also since the alcohol attracts and absorbs water it can be 
hard on your fuel system.  Of course all of this only comes into play 
when the gas sits unused for a long time like over the winter.  I 
personally use it all the time in my late model Chrysler because it's 
always 10 cents/gal. cheaper in Neb. & Ia. because it's subsidized.  I 
can also run E-85 in my van but it's only economical to do so when the 
price differential hit @ 90 cents/gal. because of the reduced fuel 
economy.
BTW Rich the BP in Glenwood still has the 91 octane.  You can fill up 
when you come to the drag strip!
