A friend in another state recently told me that one reason he avoids a certain brand of gasoline is that they cut it with 10% ethanol. He said that his mechanic has told him that even a little ethanol would leave black deposits in his carburator that would ultimately ruin it.
I, on the other hand, have lived for quite a while in a state that mandates 10% ethanol in ALL gasoline. I have never had carburator trouble, nor have I even heard of anyone else with such a problem.
What is the straight scoop? If there are carburator problems for regular engines, is the story any different for flexi-fuel engines (engines designed to run on gas and gas-ethanol mixtures)?
