Dry Gas ?

[Brockport Bill 2,125]

i know the issue of gasoline treatments like Stabil and Sea Foam etc have been discussed over the years on various threads and topics - - both as gas treatment and for storage.... including for moisture reasons.

 

My question is a variation --- has anyone used what is commonly used in our vehicles called DRY GAS ? There are various products -- "HEAT" etc -- 

 

have members used "DRY GAS"  in their tractors - - or any reason not to?

thanks. Bill

Around here we have good access to Non ethanol fuel. 

 

No ethanol. 

 

No additives. 

 

No problems. 

 

Dry gas is alcohol. Alcohol dries out rubber and possibly even damages aluminum. Carburetors are aluminum and have rubber seals.  

 

 

IMHO... do NOT use dry gas.  

 

 

This fall we put Sta-bil in the new generator gas tank. First time we've ever used it. Depending on how long the generator sets will be the answer for if we keep using the stabilizer.

I wholeheartedly agree. If you have access to ethanol-free gas, you have all you need. It's expensive, but worth it. 

 

And if it is dispensed from the same pump as ethanol fuel, run the first gallon (or two) into your vehicle. Otherwise you have a blend of ethanol and ethanol free in your gas can. 

 

I've seen old trucks pulled from a barn with 1/4 tank of old gas in them, after setting for years that start and run with a jump. Good luck with ethanol fuel that is 90 days old.
