I hear you on that Bob seems some think Corn Ethanol is a new El Dorado
greed cant bet it...oh yes well actually greed & stupidity..

--------------------------------------
EDIT seem I may have spoken a bit soon looks like its a loaded reprieve by blackmail and demanding 6% sales of E10 or else fines....So ergo they'll force it upon us voluntarily
so yeah available but few and far between & @ $$

Well kinda good news if you haven't hear Barry has dont a flip and regular unleaded will still be available

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-01-31/bowser-backflip3a-nsw-regular-petrol-ban-ditched/3801768

Seems the down side is they want increase sales of ethanoled fuel so some servo's may not carry it and price of it may be higher
(meaning we get screwed $$ again)

typical huh..anyway
-------------------------------------------

just some musing thoughts

Since this thread I looked a bit into it and it seems like *half the USA gardening Equipment was stuffed due to long term storage over their winter and leaving ethanol fuel in their equipment
(should have stored no fuel I suppose)
needing repairs or replacement

not an engine mechanic so cant really say much on that score
but interesting..

so wonder how green a move that was ...great for mower shops smile
and the economy I suppose but well not so much Id call a green success

(* figuratively speaking I dont know the exact figures but enough to warrant a few News story's on it...probably over played...still it is fact I guess)

foot note;
Seems my local Ex zoom supplier doesnt do regular without ethanol and since I make such a song and dance about it
they (whom gets the fuel) might have been getting me premium 95 of late....

its been sounding a bit sickly but it does have other issues too

Humm ...anyway

Cheers All smile

PS I guess the primary point of this threat is case closed now

but maybe a general fuel discussion thread
(unless I missed it, possible)
is warranted as it is the blood of mowers etc and an important one
wrong fuel or mix and your equipment can be in big trouble!

(yes I did miss Bruce's fuel thread so this is why the edit)
