In Response To: Re: Ethanol- Dead horse or Y2K? (Harv)

Lost two seasons trying to figure out why the engines wouldn't run. Spent over 3units rebuilding heads and new carbs, and thats with me doing the work. Lost over a hundred gallons of fuel so I could clean tank, at 4 bucks a gallon. Another couple hundred lost on addatives, carb cleaners and Red Labeling in Push Rods and valve cover gaskets. Then there is the bill for throwing stuff around when I would bend another rod.

Yeah maybe I'll laugh in a few years, but now I gotta change a glass tank to Alum and try to get the engines running back up to par.
