Just some FYI, don't know if it affects us at all.

E-15 engine damage

[onesillynotch]

sounds like they were having an issue with sulfur content also.

i seriously doubt that adding 5% of alcohol content would do all this engine damage unless the car is beet on all the time and the factory tune is on the limit, but even then its a stretch


Us and others are not having fuel related issues and we have cars from the mid 80's and we are running 85% alch

i don't buy it

I like how in the picture of the pump they selected 87 Octane before taking the pic so that would could not compare it to other fuels for prices. It seems to me that the Oil companies are just trying to give alcohol bad PR as usual.

I wouldn't expect to see any issues with E-15 over E-10 at all. Perhaps more trapped water in the fuel than E-0, but that's about it. naturally it won't keep as long as real petrol like if you store your car for 6 months at a time.

I am wondering have read ethonol fuel cause rubber etc to go bad. If so, is the rubber parts in our cars ok. Or is it something to think about. I know it is a concern of mine if it does on my 1975 Midget. Maurice

i'd be thrilled just to have E0 93 octane. some of you guys don't know how lucky you are!

Search for AAA E-15 and see what the concerns are. First the automakers are trying to deny warranty claims for using it, the main reason seems to be that the mixing process causes the gas to separate from the ethanol, causing unexpected octane changes.
