[Milsurplus] Little "Field Day" Genny - ethanol/gasoline

[Richard]

Engines with fuel injection are probably ok, but carburetors don't like 
it.  In the people's state of Massachusetts one can buy ethanol-free gas 
at a few places for about 25 dollars per gallon. The original premise 
was ethanol would save gas; every era has some idiocy, and this is one 
of ours.
