Alcohol fuel
« on: June 09, 2025, 09:09:01 AM »
Took Sweet Willy, 55 Bermuda, on a couple of hundred mile cruise Saturday.  Western Montana, 4 to 6500 ft altitude with plenty of climbs.  Beautiful day but had vapor lock problems even with electric booster fuel pump and hard starting.  Anyway had to fill with gas at a small cow town 60 mi. from home, terrible mileage with all the climbs and having to kick out of O.D.  They had a pump with non alcohol premium fuel which I used.  Car ran beautifully the rest of the way home even crossing 6500 ft continental divide.  Even starts easier.  NO more alcohol for me.
