Gas with ethanol has a shorter shelf life so you have to add Stabil or equivalent when storing your car. Ethanol does cause damage to your car no matter what they say and gas wth ethanol gets poorer gas mileage, dries out rubber, any water in it causes corrosion, if you had any water in your gas tank it will get absorbed by the ethanol.
I prefer my ethanol in single malts, beer or whatever.
no need of storing, in fact have driven year around all my years of driving. the track is open year around also,,most of the people that have on hand usage of e-85 say 1/3 is safe and will not dry out the hoses, or hurt the pump.. but anything over 60% COULD , not should require some changes in hoses ,tubing, and or pump.will let everyone know in about a year say next Jan. if and how it works. jim
