I'm not even sure if I can swing it yet, but when somebody gets out there for ride scouting, see if you can find the nearest ethanol-free station, please?

Katoom119 · 02-15-2013, 05:06 AM

Probably going to be one of the no-name stations down in Elizabethton. The BP and Shell both are big chains so they'll likely have funny fuel.

I don't worry about it myself but I will point you to a resource to do your own homework.

Rush gas stations advertise REAL GAS! I know Mountain city has one.

hscrugby · 02-15-2013, 06:59 AM

Do any of you guys ever do the food coloring test to see if it's really ethanol free?
I know I've gotten some good gas, and it's made a WORLD of difference. Other places, no noticeable difference at all.
(My stroker in the Jeep REALLY doesn't like ethanol. Ethanol free I usually get ~16mpg, e10 I get about 13 and it sputters BAD when starting.)

LadyDraco · 02-15-2013, 07:06 AM

There is another way of testing as well.. Put fuel in a clear cup.
It will separate in few hours...

What is the food colouring thing ???

We have so many 100% places in our area...

..
And some are NOT listed..

basically, your standard water soluble baking food coloring will disolve and change the color of ethanol based fuel.
It will stay as a drop and fall to the bottom of proper gasoline.

I was looking for the youtube video but can't find it.

It's the quickest and easiest way I know of. Can even test before you put it in your tank.

LadyDraco · 02-15-2013, 08:29 AM

Cool.. That's a lot faster then the way I know...

Now ya just have to hope that the friggin little bottle doesn't open up in the bags

Cuttle · 02-15-2013, 10:16 AM

in and paid list is updated... I hope. Let me know if I screwed up!

And - we have one spot open in a Creekside Cabin - if you want it, pm me and I will give you the contact for the "seller".

Plus, the owners of the resort will also have another rental available: a 5th wheel (good for one couple in a full bed and two single beds. It's a nice, new and clean camper, however it does not have hook ups, so you would have to use the regular bathrooms and showers. Booking and price will be the same as the smaller cabins.
