I believe 10% ethanol is the max you will encounter. _____________________________ 2002 Blazer LS 4dr 2WD Auto Trans Hypertech PP III Programmed Flowmaster 50 Series Delta Flow Muffler, C6 Corvette Exhaust Tip TYC Elegante carbon fiber tail lights (in reply to noom14921992) Post #: 2

RE: GAS - 7/22/2008 9:41:36 PM    BLK85   Posts: 900 Joined: 12/20/2006 Status: offline 0% ethanol is the max you should run unless your car was built to run it.  Ethanol is very hard on the rubber O-rings, even running 10% can cause problems.  I run maybe 5 tanks a year with ethanol and its all during the winter. _____________________________ 1999 Blazer 4x4 4 door 1998 Pontiac Firebird Formula-12.36@112mph 2007 Yamaha TTR230 (in reply to packofqtips) Post #: 4

I sure haven''t seen any benefit to it being in there. _____________________________ 2002 Blazer LS 4dr 2WD Auto Trans Hypertech PP III Programmed Flowmaster 50 Series Delta Flow Muffler, C6 Corvette Exhaust Tip TYC Elegante carbon fiber tail lights (in reply to swartlkk) Post #: 8
