Gasohol 91?

[Flatouthruthefog]

I've always avoided Gasohol, not wanting to have my fuel pipes and connections dissolved on my 12 year old single-carb 1600cc engine.

But last week, running on the fumes in the tank, I was forced into buying this modern 'gassy' stuff at a Lemon Green (no benzine 91) or walk home.

My fuel lines have NOT died yet, and my engine seems to have a new lease of life!

It seems to be running more smoothly, with a slightly better performance in the mid rev range.

Is this imagination?

Has anyone else out there experienced this?

Depends I would say

I tried Gasohol 95 from PTT several times a long time ago and I noticed no difference in performance but the engine sneezed and missed a bit on and around idle. I told the wife not to use it, normally she didn't but she was mightly surprised when I could tell her what she had filled up the car with.

Then I had to use Gasohol at a Shell station even though I didn't want to, queue to Gasohol 95 really long and I filled up with Gasohol 91 even and would you believe it, I hardly don't... Not a sneeze, I could have sworn that there was absolutely no difference (except my imagination when I thought I saw that the fuel needle moved down a little little bit slower). The wife filled up with PTT gasohol 95 and the engine got a cold again, coughing on and around idle, I filled up with Gasohol 91 from Shell and no cough

My Experience: Depends. PTT is crap or tanks are dirty, my car has always sneezed a bit on and around idle with gasohol from PTT in the tank. Shell confirm as good or better than benzine 91 from PTT

PTT is for clean toilets and 7-Eleven, not for filling petrol

Imagination

If a car has been running petrol for a while, swapping to gasohol the Ehanol will dissolve pollutions in fuel system, combustion chamber and exhaust system running at high speeds for hours. This makes engine run better. My 2006 Yaris, which had been running petrol on Phuket only for couple of years, used Gasohol going 700km to Hua Hin at 140-160kmh, exhaust pipe was shiny inside after this trip, and all power was on tap again

But if parts (plastic and rubber initially) in fuelsystem dissolves by Ethanol, the shit ends in combustion chamber as a black glaced tar very hard to remove. Took 3-5 days of Gasohol E10 for this to happen on my bike, 2004 Honda VTX 1800cc Vtwin

so I d say blend your gasohol with petrol asap

Could use in emergency but if the car is not made to use Gasohol, it will fail enventually.

My Mrs motor on the inside of the petrol cap cover is written 91 gasohol E10 or 91.

Nearly 8 baht a litre cheaper E10 is up here.
