- There's a lot of talk on TV about ramping up gasohol production (in the wake of the middle east hostilities). I've been avoiding it, in my MGs. Does it cause any problem in our old cars? Bob Donahue

- In carburetored engines the alcohol cleans out the crud that has built up in the gas tank, lines and everywhere else and tends to foul up the carburetors. Once you have rebuilt the carbs and the lin

- Here in Denver Co, it is pretty common to get a 10% ethanal 90% gas mixture. During the winter months it was required, though I think that has lapsed in 2000, they still sold it this year. Short stor

- Back in the early 1980's, a friend of mine built a small alcohol production facility in one of his barns. Actually he sank quite a lot of money in it and ran a couple of batches thru it and then lost

- Yes, they do that in some places down here in N.M. as well, but by law they have to put on the pump that the fuel contains ethyl alcohol (usually in really small letters) I try to avoid it in any of

- Could be. Air fuel mixture requirements are VERY different for alcohols. It is very easy to run an overlylean mixture and burn things nicely. All that said, alcohol is a very good fuel and is used in

- Perhaps on older cars it could cause damage, I don't know about that. But modern autos are rated for 10% ethanol. My '70 B has been happily running on it for 5+ years. When they switched us over to i

- South Dakota went leadless back in the early 80's. The only way I can get 92-93 octane gas for my 9.3:1 CR TD is to use gasohol. So I've used it ever since then except when I found leaded high octan

- Gasohol has been promoted in the plains states since at least the mid-70s. The ethanol is a mild octane booster and can also help clean out fuel system deposits. When I was attending school at the "H
