Ethanol Free Gas - any cons?

Dan,
I'm not going to get into the war of good gas/bad gas, but that looks like a material failure. Caused by detonation, sticky valve guides, water quenched or what not. I would contact the valve company and see if they would like to look at it for inspection purposes and material analysis.

BTW: This is cool to hear, as you probably found out, no one (privately) has anything like this around. Sure it opened your eyes a lot. Is it possible, it has fooled them some too ? This is round table talk for discussion. Not jabbing.

At the end of the day doesn`t really matter . If I ran a 100 miles without issues that weekend , got that crap gas, 10 minutes later boom. make your own conclusions.
