I wish there was a station close. E10 is a costly scam, and it's awful in anything with a carb. Death to motorcycles, power equipment, etc. I've had to work on the carb on everything I own to make it run right.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

I have had real good luck adding SeaFoam to my lawn equipment and even in my gas tank in my motorhome when I plan on running the Onan generator and during Winter storage. I'm lucky when I do want the ethonol free as I have a station about 7 miles from my house in a direction I go often.

The '63 Dodge, minibike and all lawn equipment get 91 octane no Ethanol from a local Casey's. I have to drive a few miles but it's worth it!

I run the E10 garbage in all my junk, small engines included. No problems. I have never found seafoam to do anything.

My push mower was having all sorts of issues. Switched to no Ethanol and problems went away. It seemed to have more power too. I noticed the accelerator pump diaphragm's having issues on both vehicles with 3310 750 Holly's. No issues after switching.

No ethanol unleaded premium is available locally but it is $4 a gallon. I use it for all of the small engine stuff. We also use it in the dyno cell for all of the pump gas engines. It works pretty well and doesn't kill the O2 sensors or chew up the seals and lines.

I find it funny that you guys are looking for less ethanol, and I'm looking for more of it! LOL

My Harley needs the carb rebuilt, one of my generators won't start and I constantly have to work on my string trimmers........all because of the ethanol crap gas.

In my area, CountryMark carries ethanol free gasoline and marinas are always a good source.

Yeah, anything that sits for awhile gets chewed up by ethanol. I got tired of hauling my chain saw in every year for a carb kit. It is cheaper in the long run for me to pay $4 a gallon for non-ethanol premium and just use that in my mower, chain saw, rototiller, etc.

Wow, I feel fortunate in that 91 No Ethanol here was only $2.49 a gallon this morning!

It sounds like some of you are paying a LOT more.

Just learned of the availability of it this summer. Now its in all of my recreational stuff and more. Mowers, golf carts, golf carts at camp, chain saws etc.

I'm fortunate to live within a few miles of the Marathon refinery here in canton that distributes it here and more. Have three stations nearby, and from the looks of the Station map on pittsburgs link, its all over the place. That will continue to grow, as the ethanol is a carb clogger for sure after a given amount of time.

Was getting it for 2.99 a gallon, with Pittsburgs link I see another station closer to marathon witch may be even cheaper.

E10 made my radiator plug up, makes my radio sound funny and caused my headlights to burn out! I hate that stuff!
A little more seriously, small engine fuel systems are vented to the atmosphere and modern fuels have a short shelf life. For any small engines I drain the fuel if it isn't going to be used for a an extended period (and burn it in the truck). They always start and run fine on FRESH pump gas of any type.
If there's ANY water in the bottom of your tank the Ethanol will blend with it and make it more available to the pickup. Without the ethanol water can sit at the bottom of your gas tank for years and years. The E** can make the engine run a little leaner but small engines often have little fuel trim screws to adjust that anyway.
I've never had a problem.

Two of the stations listed for BC, Canada are just down the road from me, one of which I go to all the time.
