Right on Adam,
Well put, you hit the nail on the
head. I am told that the more air in the gas tank the more damage the ethanol
can do. However they said it is not a problem for all the late model cars that
have pressurized gas tanks that are not vented!!!!
Hey!!!!!!! All old cars are vented!!!!!! The company selling the
Fuel Testers has been around for a very long time. They were originally made to
test air plane fuel in which Ethanol is 100% outlawed. (because water freezing
in the air plane line stalls the motor and -------------well-------------you
know the rest of the story.

Wait until one day you go to start your car and all of your rubber fuel
lines burst, that's what happened to my '57 after sitting for a long
time. It also destroys Holley electric fuel pumps and fuel pressure
regulators I've learned first hand. Supposedly it will eat away
aluminum lines and parts too, good stuff. I know my '97 Eldorado's
owners manual clearly states to not use any fuels with methanol (same shit,
different box) or severe engine damage will occur, I put an engine in
that car not too long ago due to multiple burnt exhaust valves (cheaper to
replace than repair). Was it a fuel quality issue or cogged
injectors causing a lean issue that burnt the exhaust valves like we
originally assumed? If the new cars are immune to this crap it'd be a
win win situation for the oil companies and the car manufacturers, sell less
actual gas for more money (that isn't as efficient), and wipe out any car that
is more than a few years old forcing people to buy new cars.

the threat is real... so far 2 out of 27 vehicles i
intermittently/regularly use have fallen victim- a 57 plymouth 2dr wagon and
my 58 golden commando savoy... apparently with some sort of phase
separation of fuel... the fuel level flaots [on sending units] have loast
their red-lacquer like coating, absorbed the fuel or alcohol and sank... no
longer buoyant.... i had to remove the sending unit on the car, and the
whole tank on the wagon, remove the cork/coated floats and replace them with
[what will hopefully last] cellular foam type floats i salvaged from parts
cars over the years [mid-80s era].... which were also designed for
non-alcohol fuel... the good this is all my carburetors are either pre-mid
60's units with brass sealed floats, or holleys from '00 and up with
resistant plastic floats... i did the 58 2 days ago and the wagon
today.... 11 more finned mopars with cork floats still floating... my
lincolns/ford products have brass flaots, 51 buick has a brass float, not
sure what my later 50s GMs have... my muscle-era GMs have cellular foam
floats... only time will tell.
all the hippies fooled and fueled by politics are ruining our
cars
