100LL Non-Ethanol

Recommended Posts

Two weeks, picked up another 5 gals of 100LL Non-Ethanol gas at the local airport.

The Kohlers never gave me a problem but, I'm diligent using Berrymans, Seafoam, and Sta-Bil in the fuel.
The Briggs (16 hp Work Horse) and Onan (520-8) did give me some fuel problems, gone now.

Seems all my engines run better with the 100LL Non-Ethanol. Could this be true or am I just relishing the seal time?

I recently picked up an Allis-Chalmers B-10. Ran well but, put a 16 hp Kohler on it.
Then, guess I'm losin' it, picked up a Pennsylvania Panzer. Pushed the recently acquired Wagner in the corner.
For the two old guys I figured non-ethanol would be best. Retired, too much time on my hands and besides the grandsons want seat 'n shop time.

Yesterday we visited a long lost relative. Had a well maintained, no longer used Horse in his barn. Guess I can find room in my barn, I'm part German,
for the Renault powered D-250. I'm losin' it but there's no cure for WHA (Wheel Horse Addiction).

Had a year of French in high school, never understood it.

The 100LL is almost five bucks a gallon but, I'm tryin' it anyway.
