I think everyone likes to express their opinions and that doesn't necessarily mean it's negative.


Absolutely!

Sometimes the facts and opinions are not all positive. Neither is reality. I think it is better to be told about the pitfalls and not have to fall into each of them.

Where did you buy your Ethanol resistant rebuild kits? I'm looking to stock up on a carb and fuel pump kit just in case I need em. F.S.,COTF, and Nat. Chevy do not specify.

Thanks

The kits from Daytona Parts http://daytonaparts.com/ are sold as alcohol resistant.

If you are running your car's engine, it doesn't make much difference about whether the gasoline contains ethanol or not. About the only difference you'll find is that the ethanol blended gasoline will break down a little quicker and leave a little water or something. Accordingly, if you are going to let the car sit with ethanol in it, drain the sucker. Which is a good ides for most all engines before the gasoline turns to gook or varnish.

There is way too much negative crap thrown at ethanol. Most of it is pure fiction (smoke and mirrors).

The comments below the article from people struggling with the problems ethanol makes should be studied thoroughly.
