Re: [Chrysler300]

Short and finally sweet! Ethanol blends along with racing fuel caused deposits to build up in my carburetor jets and ate into 2 of my brass floats in the front carb on my C. One month evolution of carb rebuilding and replacing the 2 floats and final adjustment has my C running better than I ever have experienced in 12 years of ownership. I only now burn ethanol-free 91 octane and will stay away from

anything else. Idle set at 750 and is smooth with A/C compressor engaged or off. Shuts down when engine warm with no run on. I’m happy! 300’ly, Rob KernFrom: mailto:Chrysler300-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Terry and All:

Knock on wood----I have not had the ethanol trouble---at least not yet! A couple weeks ago I started up my 300F for the first time in over a year (ashamed of that!) and took it for a fairly exuberant drive. It started very well with a little gasoline poured in each carb, and ran just fine. I will say that one of my stops on that little excursion was a fill up with NON-ethanol fuel at the local Marathon station. At least I feel better now!

300ly, Gil C.

I just read in Autoweek mag Jay Leno's essay on the evils of ethanol. In my 300F I have been running a mix of 100+ octane leaded aviation gas and pump premium spiked with the normal amount of ethanol. Has anybody in the Club experienced any problems with today's ethanol-infused gas? Jay talks about rubber parts (in fuel pumps, for example) being eaten up and ensuing engine fires. Terry McTaggart
