What is the difference in distilling "moonshine" and "ethanol for automotive fuel"?
2076848
The same, except moonshine is diluted with water to about 40% (40% ethanol + %60 water)

Not very Much...! You can find out the difference on a bunch of pages on it out there on the web...

It's made for 'alchohol' ; I use methanol. Petrol or gasoline would probably create a lot of soot; also toxic fumes.

This is an answer to a previously asked question --- Found the MSDS. It's: Ethanol - 90-100% Methanol - &lt;10% Methyl Isobutyl Ketone - &lt;10%

On other Briggs and Stratton things I have it says ok with up to 10% ethanol fuel so as long as you don't use E85 I think you are ok. If you don't use the piece of equipment often I just use true fuel. Of course it's more expensive but since it doesn't have ethanol it doesn't ruin anything. On the package it says ok for up to 2 year storage. Also if you want ethanol free gas you can go to a marina if one is close by. Their are some websites that list ethanol free fuel by zip code.

ok.... petroleum distillate in it eh? i wonder which one it is? from wikipedia: "Petroleum products are usually grouped into three categories: light distillates (LPG, gasoline, naphtha), middle distillates (kerosene, diesel), heavy distillates and residuum (heavy fuel oil, lubricating oils, wax, asphalt). "

50:1 Says so right on the saw. Have had better luck with small engines since began using pure gasoline. (Sans cane of corn juice) Look about, you can probably find a filling station that sells it. Usually 89 octane. Mixing only a qt. at a time works for me...

Sorry, I don't know. However it is working well using the nasty ethanol that's being foisted on us. You may try "the dieselstop" site/forums for an answer.

I use Lucas as an additive. If your car has been sitting up that long with out being driven or cranked in a year. I would drain all fluids. The ethanol they have in fuel now will mess up your injectors.

Yes, it works very well to prevent as much carbon buildup on the piston head and exhaust valve. I use it in my mix cans and straight gas cans. Always remember to drain all fuel from your small equipment after the season. Ethanol is NOT good, and as far as I know, there is nothing that negates the effects of ethanol. Many make claims, but I have seen no real results.

The one I got said it did in the description. I live in California were we have all kinds of stuff in our fuel. The one I got is working fine, the one that came stock on the truck was not made for ethanol and I think that was why it and so many other ranger fuel hoses fail.

This has the 4-stroke cycle engine. Nearly all gas-powered equipment is the 4-stroke rather than 2-stroke design due to government (EPA) regulations. Hence, larger, heavier, more complex (expensive), more maintenance. Additional thought - fuel system problems have escalated in the past few years. Both carburetor and injection systems. This is caused by the addition of ethanol alcohol plus various additives required by, again, government (EPA). For anything not in frequent use, as your car, remove all fuel from it when stored for any length of time. Run it dry. Fuel stabilizer, such as Sta-Bil, cannot deal with the variable additives required. These additives vary with the season and region.

if your asking about E85 I do not know for sure. E10 normal yes. Make sure you have proper voltage to the pump or the pump will not last. that is what makes them go out more than Ethanol.

I'm not sure of the differences. I have always used this one and it works well for me. Lots of energy and keeps me my sweet cravings at bay.

It worked fantastic with my ethanol set up... I'm not a chemist so I can't say for sure but it seems to me it should work fine.

Ethanol free is always best, but I have been using regular gas with no real problem.

What kinda gas have you ran? I ONLY use NON ethanol premium. Any small engine is way better off with no ethanol in the gas. Dump out your old gas and get fresh stuff without ethanol. Mine still starts within 3 pulls every time.

Although ethanol is not really good for any engine, engine seals, diaphragms, hoses, etc. have for the last 25 yrs or so been made of more ethanol-resistant material, up to a level of 10%. The newer 15% ethanol and e-85 (85% ethanol, 15% gasoline) are a different story. They both would be VERY destructive (corrosive) to most engine components, including the metal parts, except for those made within the last couple of yrs and labeled as safe for these fuels. With new research showing that toxins produced from ethanol being as high as, or higher than, petroleum, and the cost of ethanol being higher than petroleum, it would behoove us to go back to petroleum entirely.
