    Why or how does higher octane fuel help? We are doing top tier 87 in our new pathfinder

    What are you working on today?

    Both today! 2013 F150. Vibrating like crazy. Ended up being the blower motor recirc door piece floating around in the squirrel cage. Reinstalled, now I have fresh air only option. 2012 Altima. “Service engine soon light.” Figured it would be small evap leak. Checked and reseated gas cap...

    Safety violation does not end well, towing a camper

    I’m shocked NY allows traveling inside a fifth wheel. Floored.

    "Ethanol Free" Fuel, May Not Be

    Your Stewart’s in NY have dedicated hoses? Ours don’t. All around Rome and albany.

    "Ethanol Free" Fuel, May Not Be

    Central NY, Stewart’s gas stations. One hose, 87 and 89 E10, and 91 E0. I pumped two gallons in my truck before filling the generator cans. Then again I use a double dose of Startron so it probably doesn’t matter.

    Is there a best fuel additive for carburetors?

    Nope. If that doesn’t work, time to tear apart.

    Generator Carb Problems

    Startron additive. Add a fuel shutoff valve and run dry if you can. E0 fuel.

    "Ethanol Free" Fuel, May Not Be

    Here in central NY (aka upstate) most don’t have a separate hose. E0 is 91 octane at many stores and 80-96 cents a gallon more than 87 E10. And good luck finding E85.

    Kirkland $9 off

    Hmmmm. Makes me think I need to shift the 2013 F150 to 5w-30 so I can just buy one oil. Even use it in the mower.

    "Ethanol Free" Fuel, May Not Be

    I use Startron anyway.

    Post your latest oil change

    Strongly considering this (not changing filters) on my next OCI. especially the truck. **** thing always leaks after a change due to the splash guard.
