ethanol free gas

I would take the website with a grain of salt. I wonder how these stations are being "verified". The statement on the homepage of asking to remove stations that are no longer selling pure gas even if you didn't post them really tells the tale of caution to me.
I would suspect that pretty much everything at the pump has ethanol in it these days and the only non ethanol gas is race fuel that is bought without road use tax.
Ethanol is a great way to boost octane rating so I would suspect the 91-93 grades have more ethanol that 87.
People don't realize that gasoline is pumped through major pipeline arteries all around the country. All your local stations no matter what brand they are are all getting the same gasoline out of the same pipeline, and maybe adding additives once it is in their hands. Ethanol is likely already in the gas before it ever makes it in the pipeline.

Thanks! I just added their app to my phone, too. Here in the foothills southeast of Seattle, the power goes out occasionally at this time of the year, due to the wind storms. I buy Cenex ethanol-free gas for my generator. It's important to avoid ethanol in the gas in machinery that you don't use often, like chain saws, generators, etc.

ethanol free
notice most have a phone #from customers like me and you ,watchdogging,,,,the airpark that I bought five gallons from told me Im not allow to pull my truck upto the pump and fill,but if you want to do 5 gal at a time no prob.but after finding this site the station that carries ethanol free gas is closer. I just called Al's Auto Parts & Service - AMERIGREEN he told me I have 18000 gal if that's enough for you

For equipment that isn't used very often it's probably better to drain it. Not always, but. Stabilizers like PRI and Stabil work but gasoline will still go bad relatively quickly. Avoid wide temperature swings and keep the tank topped off makes a big difference. A half tank will "bellows" and suck in that 90% humidity and condense on the walls of the tank at night. A surprising amount of water will accumulate this way.
For storage it's better to fill the item with a fuel that won't go bad to begin with, and not worry about stabilizers. For storage of smaller gasoline generators, saws, mowers, etc Naptha works perfect. You probably know it as Coleman fuel, for camping stoves and lanterns.
Only about 50 octane but it doesn't ever sour or turn to varnish or gum. I've fired up old stoves with 30+ year old fuel. For storage on emergency type equipment it works great.
Here's an easy way for anyone to test a fuel sample for the ethanol content:

I work as a freight railroad conductor. Many of the mixed freight trains I'm on have ethanol tank cars in them that are destined for refineries. The hazmat paperwork I handle has the name and location of the refinery that a car is going to. So, yes, the others are right regarding the ethanol being added to the gas at the refineries.
