We run E-10 in everything on the farm and I run it in all of my cars. We have a 1979 F-150 on the farm, it did need the carburetor rebuilt last year and like many of you the mechanic blamed it on ethanol. He said he had rebuilt that carb for my dad when he was located in his old garage location. Problem was, when I got to thinking about it my dad has been gone for 14 years and the mechanic hasn't been in that old location for 20. So, yes if you run ethanol in your older, carbureted, vehicle you will have to have the carb rebuilt every 20 years..... Come to think of it didn't you always have to have that done? Golly, nobody wants to think about that do they.
