Good news for anyone who has a vehicle,boat,garden equipment or anything that burns gasoline and has a carburetor !!
Paul's in Pahoa now has ethanol free gasoline !
Gasoline with 10% ethanol is great for vehicles or gasoline using devices that are fuel injected and and have sealed fuel systems.
It probably doesn't matter to most of you because you have already replaced your dead weed-eaters,chain saws, etc.
The ethanol attacks rubber fuel lines,is corrosive and absorbs water.
It's no problem in a modern car but it is a death sentence for older engines.
I have a restored older car that has been running like crap since I brought it to the Island.I am thankful for Paul providing this service.Previously the closest gas station that had ethanol free gas was in Mountainview.
