Nope, both wrong. Always a corner at one of the bench's where
you can shove somethin' over. And the fuel in question was E-10
and it's hydroscopic affinity to absorb moisture out of thin air.
I have since I started this, thought of a couple more scenarios.
Not to late since I'm only a day into it, but I'm gonna add a
jar that has been Sta-Bil'ized. And since I've got more
Smucker's jars than I well ever use for nuts and bolts, I'm
going to make another matching set and place them out in the
direct sun this summer. Also gonna make one with the lid on it
but just a hold punched in the top to allow it to stabilize
with the relative humidity but not evaporate out so fast.
Should be interesting to see how it turns out.
Oh, I gotta throw this in also. I haven't used my Echo chainsaw
since last summer. Just parked it on the shelf with E10 fuel
from the middle of the summer in it. I had to cut off a 6x6
yesterday and one pull with the choke on and a second one with
the choke off and she came to life just as she always has and
ran just fine.
I wish I could master the videos like Gus has done to better
show that this isn't BS but I really haven't had any problem
with E10 even when it's a year or more old.
Now I can't let it dye with out saying, Roy ya sound like you've
had your share of problems with your fuel and I do feel for you
guys down there in the south. But we indeed must be quite
fortunate up here in Northern Illinois cus that's all they've
been selling in the service stations for decades now up here.
And I've never seen a car, truck, motorcycle, lawn mower,
tractor sitting off the side of the road in all these years,
nor have I heard any average operator complain about the way
their vehicle ran on the gas they just pumped into their
vehicle. Seems the only ones that I've heard complaints from are
the guys that are constantly tinkering with their engines and
blaming the problems on the fuel.
