If you're buying fuel that is advertised as "Alcohol/Ethanol free", and it looks like this.....IMG_20220506_142550376.jpg

 

Don't !    

It truly does test free of alcohol/ethanol......but it's terrible.    I can't get a carbureted motor to run well on it, and EFI engines....while they will idle ok on it, have holeshot problems and a loss of top end RPM.

Switch to plain 87-89% octane w/10% or less ethanol.... and she runs like a dream.   

Just a heads up.    Fresh regular fuel is what you want.   Not anyone's special blend, Premium, or any of that malarkey.  🙄

I've been plagued with bad fuel issues this Spring.    Worse than ever before.   

Not sure what's going on in the fuel industry right now, but us small engine guys are having a fit with it.    Could be the switchover from "winter blend", I don't know.   But it's a definite "thing".   

I blame the commander in chief !  🙄

Almost looks like the color of on-road diesel. Wonder if the fuel man hit the wrong hole for a second...

Won't diesel fuel kill grass ?

Probably dumping and doing dye tracing on rivers at the same time.

I guess that is why the pump says "do not dispense in glass containers".  They don't want you to see what is in it.

Shell posted a 3.1 billion profit for 1st quarter according to one report.  They stated obscene profit.  Probably alot of urine in that sample made it yellow.

I think you grabbed the wrong jar. That there looks like moonshine.

Smells like bug spray, but doesn't kill grass.   

I don't know what it is, but it sure doesn't seem like gasoline to me at all.   Totally "fresh" too.   Just bought 3 days ago in Jeff city.   3.82/gal.

That don’t look like any moonshine that I ever had!
