Geez Mark..never seen a post that long..and no spelling errors! ! That one finger plink is really getting good..I think the one thing that must be understood about E10 and all ethanol gas additives like Star tron is they do not remove the alchohol..they remove water..this product is like stabil..it doesn't remove its corrosive propertys..E10 is certified by manufacturers by govt mandate to be acceptable from 02 and up..all..so I dought the leak you had Mark was a by product of ethanol..I still think the best protection we have is running the fuel lines empty before storage and leave as little gas in the tank as possible..other than that just keep a wide eye on all rubber lines..

 Who said ya can't teach an OLD dog new technology! Before I got this job I didn't even know what one of these things was.       

Check out this web site. You can get ethanol free gas in some states. There's one in New Hampshire about 40 miles from me but it's only 87 octane. A bunch in places like PA and TX.

Mark..these additives only remove water..water rusts stuff..thats part of the corrosive part of E10..the ethanol disolves sludge and old crap in the fuel system so clogged fuel filters can happen ..your better off wizzing in the gas tank than using an octane booster..they don't do much..and cost much..just relax and maybe use some stabil or the others on the market..storage will be the biggest concern ..and Jeff I have seen that site..its ok but at times can be very inacurate..don't drive the 40 miles unless you call first and find out if they are not E 10.

Oh an Heston said it best " from my cold dead hands "..hopefully hit that for a day in Pittsburg this year!

 I have small hands, but at least they won't get the one I'm hanging on to. Can't hold all of them.

It is now up to $3.50 for 91 oct here in Tucson, AZ.  The Regular unleaded has gone up a lot but, the good stuff has remained in the same area so far.

Actually, you should keep the tank full during storage. The less air in the tank the better. Changes in temp. causes the humidity in the air to condense into water, the more air the more water you'll get. Dave

Your right about that Dave..it will do that..I just don't store anything with any gas in it..I think it is my Grand dads fault as he taught me to do so with the boat and still do now..pulled the line off at the lake when we were on the trailer waiting to go home to run the carb out of gas..he always said you never know how long it will be untill next time you will get out..always made sure only a little amount of gas was left in the little tank..rather start the day with a fresh tank than an old one..don't want to get stuck out there..so how many sayings did he have..well he was from central Alabama so there were many..the big one now with E10 is that it will eat the junk in the tank and since our cars got many years on them with no E10 then there is bound to be some junk in there..the additives should remove the water..and the less you have in there the less chance you will end up with a full tank if crud in the Spring than not..the change in temp isn't really a big deal unless its stored during the summer or you spend winters in a humid place like the beach area..I do keep a full tank all summer though..it motivates me to try and burn it all off by fall time..seem to do that pretty easy..

  SOOOO.......  RICH,  What about the plate?  Have you come up with an identifier for the new issue of legal ability to drive?   I may have missed it, sorry if I did. 

Well, after a very long winter of being stored with a full tank of 10% ethanol gas, I took my '79 out twice last week. It seems to run good.
