A lot of my equivalent sits for long periods of time. And it's super humid. E10 is a problem.

Ethanol attracts moisture. That’s the reason why it’s bad. It’s a simple process really.

I’ve read somewhere the octane drops 3 points. So 90 octane when all said and done. My lawnmower doesn’t miss. The true test will be my 2 cycle sthil.

OP - Thanks for sharing. I know you guys in TX can't seem to get the pure stuff for some reason so at least you have an option now.

E10 does not go in any of my OPE. Have you really tried looking for ethanol free gasoline? I honestly wouldn’t be adding dye and water to E10 and decanting the stuff. There are additives that will help neutralize the effects of the ethanol. Ethanol free gas can be purchased at many marinas. Here’s a link that may help in your quest for ethanol free gas.

I feel fortunate to get ethanol free for 2.50a gallon. I never had a problem running regular pump gas in my mowers though. But I always used stabil.
I did it on a much smaller scale . I left the walk behind out and a squall hit. no top on the foam air cleaner. I drained the tank into a qt jar. I could see a perfect example of phase separation. 3 layers, water and ethanol, a very thin layer of ? and real home made E0 floating on top . Lacking any other gas on site. After I drained the bowl on the carb. I poured in the gas and the mower ran,

Ethanol is going to kill your machine but it’s certainly not good for it.

WHY ?!?!?!?!
There is NOTHING in that mix that can be used by the oil recyclers!!!!
32 oz isn’t going to contaminate a recycle oil container. Your telling me folks who change their oil not one of them might have a blown head gasket or fuel delusion issues. That’s far worse than what I’m doing.

I’ve searched, thanks though.

Take a little gas and add water and some blue food coloring. It’s amazing the separation you see.
