You also don't want to run ethanol fuel in your mining equipment or any small engine, it will F*$# it up fast.

jog is correct. Ethanol is heck on 2 cycle and small engines. A few stations sell recreational (Rec fuel) gas that does not have it in it. Worth an internet search in local area for non auto equipment though it will cost a little more. Ethanol eats fuel lines and its resulting gum hits the carburetor for a fail. Also fuel left in carb leaves a deposit from heck jamming jets and altering function. Should they raise amount allowed in auto fuel, a conditioner is likely one user option in an attempt to avoid problems.

All ethanol gas if it sits for anytime will break down. And cause problems.Need to add a stabilizer. Like stabile ethanol stabilizer. Or seafoam. E15 gas is bad news.
