As a 30+ year user of ethanol, I know that cars have been 10% ethanol ready
since the mid-70's. I was talking about the small engines that not all are
ethanol ready, based on an earlier post complaining about ethanol. I was
referring to: string trimmers, leaf blowers, tillers, lawn mowers, chain
saws, model airplanes, and etcetera. I assume scooters and motorcycles have
been 10% ethanol ready for years too. At any rate, I've be using it in my
1980 Yamaha XS850 for many years.
