Fuel without ethanol?

[GTRS Fiero]

Do your gas stations have it?

When I went through OK, some of the gas stations offered straight gasoline--for an additional cost.  Each time, I paid extra to fill up with the non-ethanol gasoline.  Later, I was told that all the major gas stations in OK offer this.  The shop where I went had barrels of non-ethanol gasoline that they order periodically.

Around here, you are likely to find gas with no ethanol in small town gas stations. The reason is that there is a lot of older farm equipment out there that is harmed by ethanol.
On my own lawn tractor, which isn't very old, I had to replace the carburetor. I'm thinking that it was ethanol that did the old one in. It had some plastic parts, whereas the new one had brass parts instead.

Yes, I worry about my ATVs.  Their carburetors have plastic parts.  21 days is the max life for ethanol fuel.  I run them every other week, but the ethanol still does damage.

When I run the wood chipper (which is particular susceptible to carb clogging) I turn off the gas and run the carb dry after each use. I don't buy ethanol-free gas, however. The folks near me who sell it charge an extra $1/gallon for it.

[GTRS Fiero]

Is was about $0.30 more per gallon in OK.

Running the engine with the fuel shut off does not get all the fuel out of the carb.  I tried that.

Try this:

You can replace the state suffix at the end with the state you're searching in to get local results.  There's one on Hazlewood Ave. in St. Louis. 

If you're in the area of some of the larger lakes around the country, marinas have ethanol-free gasoline.  Most boats use it.

The octane is too high.

[Fierofool]

The Fiero will run on all octanes above 87.  It's just that there's no real hp or mpg gain. 

[GTRS Fiero]

My understanding was that higher octane fuels left undesirable carbon deposits.

[Fierofool]

I don't know if it does or not.  I do remember that before the unleaded gases became the norm, Amoco Premium was known as White Gas.  It was clear and had no lead in it.  People often ran it periodically to clean the engine.

My father used to refer to Kerosene as White Gas and used it in old pumpup blow torches

As Stated you can use 100 Octane if you could afford it but no additional advantage , Up here in N.Ga. It can be found most every where (Ethonol Free) for about .30 cents more And we get the 90 proof for all the tools.

At one time, Amoco Premium White Gas was also an acceptable fuel for Coleman Lanterns and Stoves.

Probably not all of it, but it stopped it from gumming up all the jets and passages. At least for me. YMMV.

our town has a station for ethanol free.
