[QUOTE="jltrent, post: 1654989, member: 21075"] It would not surprise me if in the next couple years we are forced to use E-15 gas as a lot depends on Georgia outcome. If forced upon us it will be a disaster. The problem is all the rubber parts, (fuel lines, impulse lines, intake boots, oil seals, filters etc.), carb diaphragms, rubber tipped needles are not designed for Ethanol gas. To leave Ethanol gas in a few days limits the damage, but will still degrade parts that are not designed for it. To replace the damage it causes plus labor you have mountains of thrown away equipment that is probably harder on the environment that the benefit of E-10. Also Ethanol gas is very corrosive and will degrade metal parts over time. To get back to the OP what I usually do if the pump is not exclusive Non-Ethanol I pump a few gallons in my vehicle before I fill up my portable tanks. In my autos I know it will not stay long.
