A new blend of gasoline comprising 15 percent ethanol, approved by
the Environmental Protection Agency last month and now available in
Kansas, could damage automobile engines, the Kansas Petroleum Council
is warning.
“We don’t have a problem with ethanol,” council director Ken Peterson
told CNSNews.com. “We use it virtually in every gallon of gasoline
that’s produced for sale in this country, but the E15 is kind of a
different animal in that both the petroleum industry and the car
manufacturers have raised concerns about potential damage from the use
of E15 fuel in a misfueling situation [putting the wrong type of fuel in
your vehicle by mistake].

The 10% ethanol can damage as well, especially if you have older vehicles with carburetors. If you own one of these, you must use an a fuel protector. In the 1970s we had gasahal and it was taken off the market. Back then we repaired our own vehicles as some of us still do today. The EPA has no mechanical engineers, just Government appointed idiots.
It was known before it was forced down our throats.
