[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Kingstowne Towne Center | Gasoline w/o Ethanol

[Don Lewis (KI4D)]

At the ARC meeting tonight during discussions about Field Day, the problem
with gasoline ethanol additives was discussed because of the problems
ethanol causes with small engines, including generators. The last thing one
needs to worry about is their generator failing during a real emergency
because of problems caused by ethanol.  Ethanol free gasoline is hard to
find.  I have been told by management at Kingstowne BP that their gasoline
does not have ethanol additives.  See links below.
