Post by: memper on November 16, 2013, 04:44:44 PM I'm just curious regarding the details behind "the producers have pushed the E.P.A. into allowing a blend that is 15 percent ethanol rather than 10"

Small engines have rubber/plastic parts in the fuel system that don't even play as well with ethanol as PA-6 doesn't...if you catch my drift. Title: Re: Hope at the horizon?
