Ethonol in fuel
I have been reading that all the ethanol treatments that are being sold don't really work on phase separation. This came from Mercury and Honda web sights. I live in Henry co. and we have no stations here that sell non ethanol fuel. anyone know if more stations might be selling non ethanol recreation fuel around here??? I have got it when I go to Lake Cumberland but can't see to find it locally. Any help?

There is a site that maintains a database that lists all the places that sell it. There is nothing close to Fayette county and I don't recall the site name but I bet Google does.

Looks like your most "local" station is in Shelbyville.
(& that's not a complete listing, either ... as I know of two more non-ethanol locations around Green River Lake, that are not listed)
You could always add a water/fuel separator between the gas tank & engine !!

thanks for the help, I have been thinking of adding a water separator.

The Marathon that has a Godgather's Pizza in it on 127 maybe less than a mile north of the Jamestown 127 bypass.

if you are familiar with where the fruit of the loom plant is , its right in front of it. its pump#13, sits by itself right beside hwy127, its called "recreational fuel" and it is 100% ethanol free. cost usually hovers right around $4/gal. my mtotr does run and idle noticeably smoother , however i can see a little difference in fuel economy. same round trip, same wt ld, roughly the same conditions i seem to use more fuel. the down side to this particular marathon is they are not (havent been anyway) open 24 hrs. so i always fuel the evening before.

I always run shell gas in the boat and small engines becasue the one by the house dont have the placards that say may contain 10% ethanol on them. If they dont have that sign there is less than 10% ethanol in the gas adn i have never had any problems with the gas. I have noticed that most shells dont have that placard. But thats just my 2 cents...

I am not a purist on the subject and my OB manual says 10% Ethanol is fine but I know a lot of people are concerned about it. I wonder if a member supplied user data listing might not make a good addition to the site.
There is no reason to support any state that does not already have a sub-forum here.
