Separating ethonol seems another panic - midden - 10-10-21
https://youtu.be/7VwxRVATbOQ
Just watched this clip as a matter of interest and the possibilty of reusing the ethonol to reduce financial waste.
When it came to siphoning off and then adding fuel boosters I got to wondering if the people who are likely to go to all this effort were previously accepting of E5 in their lawnmowers and the extra 5% has caused a panic or whether they previously always always bought super unleaded which I presume co trained no ethonol.
Either way factoring the 10% loss of fuel in with the cost of fuel booster would it not be more economical to siphon or stick with the now super unleaded E5.

I'm just wondering how many people are going to manage to go out in a blaze of glory when a stray spark sets the whole lot aflame...
(PS I've just ridden over 200 miles on a tank of E10 in my FZ6 without a problem :thumbup )

Older carbed bikes I think, need to be wary, or maybe mindful of the fact that when/if petrol starts leaking from the carbs, they'll have a fair idea of what has caused it.
