Default Ethanol free gas station locations

Here's a website that lists locations to buy ethanol free gas http://pure-gas.org/index.jsp?stateprov=FL.

Does anyone know if problems are caused by going from gas with ethanol added to ethanol free?

This is very helpful. Thanks.

I don't anticipate your question will be a problem.

No problems, ethanol is used as a "filler". It is cheaper than gas so it helps keeps costs down when it is mixed.

It's like adding an extra scoop of rice to a meal but making the steak smaller.

Maybe so, but ethanol does affect/deteriorate some materials like fuel lines. I'm no chemist so I can't say for sure what happens. But there's discussion about switching from ethanol added to ethanol free causing problems. Sounds wrong because switching to ethanol was bad in the first place, so how can switching back to ethanol free be bad, but people are saying it can be.

i would get a fuel system cleaner or just flush the boat fuel system with Efree gas and then save that gas for the lawnmower or something.

ethanol and water ie time left unused creates the problems...if your gas hasnt separated there should be no issue with the mixture. it is just like reducing the E % of what is in your tank
