I have been doing more fuel "research" since we now have 5% ethanol-blend gasohol being sold as gasoline in our region. I hereby retract my statement above about filling fuel tanks prior to storage. There is evidence that gasohol fuel absorbs water to a certain point, at which the ethanol-water mixture seperates from the gasoline and settles to the bottom of the container (fuel bowl, fuel tank, fuel pump housing). It appears to be a better practice to store machines with a small amount of additive protected fuel on board or drained. Proper additives can help prevent this separation.
Randakk has an article on gasohol here: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.randakks.com/TechTip56.htm">http://www.randakks.com/TechTip56.htm</a><!-- m --> |
