[QUOTE="504RP, post: 1655017, member: 40335"] Ethanol fuel does all of thoes things you mentioned plus it makes water mix with fuel or what they call emusify probably spelt emusify wrong but its means to mix. And ethanol gas burns hotter than non-ethanol gas. For exaple E-10 ethanol fuel is 10 % ethanol fuel, E-15 ethanol is 15 % ethanol. So when you use ethanol fuel in small engines like chain saws, weed eaters, lawn mowers, 4 wheelers etc..., not only does it do all the things jltrent has mentioned but because the ethanol burns hotter and if it had water in it from where you got it. The extra heat can burn your valves, rings, pistons etc prematurely. And it will burn the water that when mixed with ethanol is corrosive. Thats why you should use the type of fuel the owner's manual says to use. A engine designed to burn E-10 will burn E-15 but because of the extra heat of the E-15 it is damaging the rings, pistons etc....., probably no noticeable damage immediately will show up. But what is happening is your shortening the.life of that engine. Had one guy tell me that was the cause of these check engine lights that come on and you can't find anything wrong. But if you run the fuel the owner's manual calls for. That check engine light will go away. But when you run this hotter burning, water mixing ethanol fuel in these small engines designed for non ethanol fuel. Your really shortening the life of thoes engines. [/QUOTE]
