You need to know the specific gravity of the fuel if the new fuel is lighter the engine will run leaner. Tyler

Re: Anyone????
the e-10 loses 3 to 4 points of octane 4 to 6 weeks. starbrite makes a product called startron it helps but can not stop all the negitive effects.do a search on this there is alot of info,not all good.they say it runs about 3% leaner. alchohol can absorb 100% of it volum in water. it is electricly conductive.

Re: Anyone????
In answer to the question,will the ethanol loosen sediment and clog up the fuel system,the answer is defenitly YES!I fought with my fuel sytem the better part of this season.I finally opened up my tanks and you would not believe the garbage in there.I had no problem last year.I had Junk in there that would actually clog my pickup.After cleaning the tanks The problem was gone.
