Warm weather, sunshine, and miles of open road lure drivers all across the country. With more and more of us taking to the road this summer, it’s important to make sure our cars are prepped and ready for the extra miles. And as ethanol free gas becomes increasingly difficult to find, it’s especially important for vehicles made before 2010 as well as classic cars to prepare for long drives on hot days.

How can you make sure your car is ready for the extra miles?

A fuel additive that protects against the harmful side effects of ethanol is a great way to protect your car’s engine before you hit the open road.

Ethanol Defense combines proven combustion improvement, detergency, and alcohol-free ethanol protection with the best professional-strength water-absorbing power. Ideal for both classic cars and modern cars, Ethanol Defense is a safe way to protect your engine.

Would you mind giving us your thoughts on it then?

If you use Ethanol gas (and most stations in this area have Ethanol in their gas), then it's no secret that Ethanol breaks down fairly quickly. In as little as 30 days in hot, humid weather.

 

The alcohol starts to separate out and draw water vapor from the air into the gas. As the purified alcohol is burned in an engine, it burns faster than gas, and the cylinder head temperature goes up. In-fact, in small, air cooled equipment such as trimmers, chain saws, and the like, it can melt cylinder heads and burn holes in pistons. (In small engines, if you use Ethanol gas, you should only use mid-grade or premium as the extra octane will slow the burn of Ethanol and perhaps save an engine from failure).

 

Ethanol Defense (and another product I've used longer, Sea Foam) will prevent the Ethanol from separating out.

 

Doesn't take much, 1 oz per 10 gallons. (1 oz per 5 gallons if you intend to keep the gas for more than 30 days and up to a year).

 

Bottle is marked to make it easier to measure. I usually put it in an empty 5 gal gas container and then take it to the station to get gas. (Don't use it in the car or add it to lawn mower, etc. That's too late as the gas may have already have started to break diwn. None of this stuff works on gas that's already started to break down).

 

Haven't used it in the last year or so. I decided to find a local station that sells pure gas (no Ethanol). Hers a website that lists stations that sell gas without Ethanol: http://www.pure-gas.org/

 

If you have been using Ethanol gas and are now having problems with a lawn mower or gas trimmer, snow blower or whatever, try adding either Ethanol Shield or Sea Foam directly to your engine tank, run the equipment to get it in the carb, then shut it off and let it set. The stuff will disolve the gum and open the Jets (usually, sometimes you have to take it apart and throw it in the ultrasonic cleaner). I had to let a snowblower sit for a week before it cleared the jets. (That was with Sea Foam).

 

If you live in an area that gets below freezing and are using gas with Ethanol, the gas in your cars tank probably has water on it. (Ethanol draws water to itself). Best to pour in a can of Heat at the start of winter to bring the water to the same specific gravity and burn it up in the engine.

 

And in all cases, use with Ethanol Shield or Sea Foam if you use Ethanol gas (if there's any chance you are going to keep gas around for the lawn mowe or the like. Good for 2 cycle or 4 cycle.
