Weâve all had the motor works fine until you accelerate, etc. With the EPA required lined fuel lines, this can happen with the ethanol gasoline. The Caseyâs gas stations in Illinois and Wisconsin, they offer an ethanol free premium, itâs worth the extra .45 a gallon for us. This particular instance, the hose didnât collapse until you tried to run WOT. Itâs frustrating

for sure.

I pay for the non ethanol gas for the piece of mind. Thanks for sharing that picture! Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

More expensive, but I've decided to pay the extra to avoid that issue long-term. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
