Some are proposing an increase in ethanol content in our fuel, like 15% or more.

As my GMC stopped running on the way back to Houston from Pueblo last November with only 10% ethanol fuel, I wonder how long before this product will halt us permanently.

Not to be an alarmist, just thinking out loud but we should do all we can to prevent ethanol from harming out coaches. In my case, the carb was gummed up due to ethanol and the engine quit and would not restart. After getting towed in outside El Paso, they sprayed the carb with Gummout and I drove home. Later, when driving to my home from my shop, it sputtered and coughed again, so I replaced it with a Paterson carb.

Now I am in the process of changing rubber hoses and adding an electric fuel pump with two inline filters. I must also drop the fuel tanks and have them cleaned to avoid ethanol loosening stuff in the tanks. Found out that dropping the tanks is not as big a job as I thought(dropped two to sell recently).

Other ideas for protecting our GMCs have been posted to this site and bear repeating for newbies and others who may not have seen them.............Michael at GEMRECS
