Ron ... I'm wondering if the same aging gasoline chemistry issue that causes Onan carbs to gunk up can also cause Onan fuel pumps and filters to gunk up?
People giggle when I fill up with premium gas, “You idiot, it only needs regular, you’re throwing away money!”.
Maybe, but premium is ethanol free and neither of my Onan’s have given me a lick of problems in 10 (for one) and 15 (for the other) years despite not being started sometimes for a year at a time.
No ethanol, no problems.
Oh, BTW, it doesn’t cost more, my increased mileage more than covers the per gallon difference.
Hmmm ... I wasn't aware that premium grade gasoline is exempt from requiring refiners to add ethanol to it in the states that require a certain percentage of ethanol be in gasoline in order to meet clean air environmental requirements.
Is there a website where we can check ethanol in gasoline requirements for each state ... or are they now included in federal clean air regulations?
