Here is what happens when you let E10 gas sit in your carb for long enough to evaporate. This is generally about 4-6 months. I miss the good old days when it just turned green and fuzzy.
So you want to know what ethanol does to your fuel system?

Scrape it off and put it in a little baggie. You can sell it down at the self-serve car wash and get all your money back.
Just kidding.

I DO remember that! But my favorite scene was those two rubes, both stuck, sitting behind the steering wheel of that smoking van while the motorcycle cop walked up. THAT dialogue with the cop was hilarious.!!

They sell No ethanol gas here in Kansas. it's 30 cents more per gallon. That's all I use in classic cars and my M151.
