 |
|
FWIW - BP 93 Octane does contain ethanol, at least here in Tn. (what a sad
waste of corn - good live stock food and the main ingredient in sour mash
sippin' whiskey such as Jack Daniels).
I noticed my fuel caps were becoming hard to remove for my main tanks, but
not my aux tanks. (I always keep my aux tanks wet with 100LL and only use
100LL in them. I had been filling my mains with mostly mogas with some
100LL).
I had always used BP93 for my mogas. Shortly after I noticed my fuel caps
were becoming hard to remove, the BP station posted the owlgore stickers on
their pumps stating the fuel my contain up to 10% ethanol.

Further proof that unless you test you can NOT be 100% sure that the Mogas doesn't have ethanol. If you are running Mogas and aren't 100% sure that every single part of your fuel system is OK for ethanol you are going to have to check every single time you buy gas.
Tony, I'd check the rest of the fuel system very closely for a while.
