Wilson here to straighten shit out...lol

This is serious

I'm asking

If you could run

NON-ETHANOL gasoline

notwithstanding the price

would that be a better choice?

Straight gas is always the best choice, better mpg's.

Only place I can get it is at the boat docks though.

We try to buy straight gas eventhough it means paying more and lower octaine. We've noticed much worse gas milage with the 10% ethanol crap... sorry wilson.

I wish I could get straight gas in Chicago it's all 10% blend. I notice much better mileage up north in Minnesota with straight fuel.

I am stuck with 10% for the most part around western southeast Michigan, but I have talked to Chris at Freedom Motorsports on the Amsoil Quickshot ethanol treatment. Run it through a take every few months. Not ideal, but is helps.

Minnesota has all e-10 they don't have to mark it because it's mandatory in MN.
e-30 is the way to go guy's e-10 dose suck it has too much pressure (vapor lock) the more ethanol you use the less pressure it has.

Yeah, what the hell......Use E-30 in your Raptor....Better mileage, more hp, motor lasts forever & the fumes will cure cancer.
What do those stupid engineers @ Ford know? Them & their degrees & million dollar computers! I will believe a corn farmer anyday over them!
(You'll cover my warranty, right Wilson?) ROFL!

 

[Wilson]

yep you got it. it's the best so far don't need anything but e-30

high concentration ethanol fuels are caustic, the 6.2L's fuel system was not made to run ethanol, the fuel lines and seal point O-rings will be slowly eaten away by the ethanol, if you run it often your fuel lines and seals will become weak and fail, this will result in fuel leaks, very likely into the engine bay, then you have big fires and nobody is happy and you're now down 1 very expensive raptor, unless you install an ethanol fuel system conversion kit, I would strongly recommend NOT running high concentrations of ethanol blends in your 6.2L raptor, that is the reason the fuel filler says NO E-85, nothing against you wilson, I'm pretty sure you know what you're doing, but someone else reading this might not
