Ethanol Free
Having made some inquiries and found some interesting facts for the Muleteers out there.
In Canada: Shell V-Power 91 is ethanol Free across Canada.
Canadian Tire 91 is also ethanol Free across Canada.
Alberta, Nova Scotia: all stations dispense ethanol-free gasoline.
Some also dispense E10, a ethanol Blend,
so check the pump.
British Columbia: all 94-octane Chevron fuel is ethanol-free.
Ontario: Co-Op gas has between 5 and 15% ethanol in most blends,
not friendly to rubber etc.
Hope this helps all, I will be sticking with Shell V-Power 91 I think for my Mule.
How fast does bad gas deteriorate the tanks/pumps diaphrams etc?
Has anyone experienced it after one tank or does it take repeated exposure?
Is the first sign usually a clogged fuel filter?
Could we see it in the gas if we drained some from the tank?(Deteriorated rubber?)
