Sinclair 100% Ethanol-Free Gas, anyone use it?

[Simple Jack]

I was looking at Sinclair 100% Ethanol-free gas 91 octane, and looks like it has 10% Methanol in it. Is that any better than Ethanol or is just as bad or worse?

That stuff is toxic, and your not getting 100% pure gas. Don't know what it would do to the fuel system.

We put methanol in the fuel in winter to keep it from gelling and for any water in it to keep it from freezing.
Nothing near 10% though! I put maybe a gallon jug in my 500 gallon fuel tank and maybe a cup or two in most fuel tanks.

I figured it would be just as bad if not worse.

Alky is alky

Gas with $#!t or Pizz, what is the difference?

Methanol is worse than ethanol.

one place close to me I can get 100LL at a fair price. I can drive a hour or so for 87 Non-Ethanol or Methanol for about the same price as 100LL. Or I can get 110 race fuel that's about 6$ a gal close to where I'm cutting. I have used 100LL a lot the past few years, seems to work great. I just haven't been able to get it for awhile and was trying to find something else to switch to. I found another place to get it from, so all is good now!

When I worked at the airport I got all 100ll I wanted. Had to retune my saws though. Now I just regular 87

I have a 68 RS/SS camaro, rebuilt 370/350 vette motor, > 11:1 compession. I used to be able to drive into airport, fuel up, then do a smoke show/burnout for the gas pumpers. The car ran good on 1:1 AV gas and pump premium (93).

Times have changed.

I still use AV gas in my saws.

That is a virtue of corn-fuel. It don't freeze up unless it sucks up too much water, then separates.

I like iso-propanol (2-propanol) dry gas. Better than methanol.

lucky man


not since 9/11 here

We are lucky, here. Both regular and premium non-ethanol are avaiable. My saws run fine on the regular (87), but I try to put the premium in my boat.
