first of all this is kind of cool, the longest thread that I have ever started. I do not know that much about ethanol, as you can see from the title 10% methanol. I did use to drive methanol burning outboard hydroplanes, and we had the problems of it eating aluminum, fuel line, having to fog the engine with oil for it would dry out and become metal to metal, but the worst is and was that it would combine with water and become nonburnable. So is this new national fuel doing the same in our cars. Do not know but I am not happy about using it without any other choice. Also with the methanol, we burned over 3 gals for a 5 mile race, it takes more to make the same btus..
