    Anytime I can get it (which isn't often). Good for the Spyder, better mileage to boot.

    Default My take on it....

    After spending a few years in the petroleum industry, I'll avoid ethanol whenever possible......but I'm not rabid about it. I've seen internal damage to gas dispensers & watch manufacturers of petroleum equipment develop special O rings that could stand up to ethanol. I've yet to be able to explain the dry rotting of O rings INSIDE a gas dispenser where there's no air or sunlight.

    Think they can make a diesel Spyder?? Ah....biodiesel has it's own set of issues. Now that I will get rabid about!!

    That would be just great: all of the disadvantages of more expensive fuel that gets moldy, and none of the fun of a high-winding engine!

    Where are you going to hide the DEF tank anyway: one of the saddlebags?

    Maybe that's because it is not "dry rotting" at all.

    All "rotting" is a chemical reaction and free oxygen and/or sunlight is not always required.

    No and no.

    It was designed to use E10 and that is no "worse" than pure gasoline.......unless maybe it will sit unused for a year or more.

    Angry Yes

    Whenever I head to the airport with my friend
    for a ride in his Cessna, which is often
    I always fill my spider with aviation fuel
    Big Fun
