Saw a pic of one head (used in a marine engine with E15) where the valves were all cracked.Maybe ethanol fuels need more upper cylinder lubricant mixed in from the refinery.Has anyone stripped a high km, high ethanol engine of late.

Justa6 Member 214 Member For: 15y 11m 15d Posted 13/09/13 09:42 PM Share Posted 13/09/13 09:42 PM (edited) Heard of injectors stuffing up when left sit. If my ute was not to be driven for quite a few months, would it be better to drain the cell and try to run 98 in it for a bit?It will run rich as, foul the plugs, but might be better for the injectors?Or is there something better.

turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 22y 1m 5d Gender: Male Posted 13/09/13 11:27 PM Share Posted 13/09/13 11:27 PM I was reading about ethanol fuels and small perol engines like whipper snippers, lawnmowers, outboard mtrs etc.Most of these small engines are not ethanol compliant and if left to sit with ethanol fuel will just glug up from dissolved rubber. In USA they only have ethanol fuels now so its a big problem. Just don't use on these small engines.Newer cars are more ethanol compliant but I still think they are a bit hard on everything they touch, so if you don't drive it often you may be better with non ethanol fuel.
