Ethanol info

This may give some a better understanding about ethanol blended gasoline and what it can do for or against you.

"It is to note that if phase separation occurs, oil will have a tendency to stay with the gasoline. If engine happens to take the alcohol part, it will suffer insufficient lubrication.25 The result is that engine damage may occur.
Also, it is to note that mineral 2 stroke oil won’t mix with alcohol. This means that oil will only be in the gasoline part of the blend. In higher ethanol content blends (E85); this could lead in insufficient lubrication. This will eventually cause problems in lower alcohol content blends such as E5 and E10. The only solution to this problem would be to use fully synthetic oil. It is a very expensive solution but it is the only one."

I don't like it.

Good post, by the way.
