I have a 1975 914 2.0, should I be using ethanol free gas? It appears to have the orginal metal gas tank.

Mechanics I trust tell me it is much less liable to turn to jelly and foul carbs and injectors. The Real issues with Ethanol are that it absorbs water which will screw up Carbs ( New FI Systems handle it OK because of the High Pressure) and that it is highly corosive (which is where it eats Fuel Lines). In Lawn equipment which sits most of the time the Water absorbtion is much worse. Even in your regular cars where you use E-10, the best thing to do is always have your car at a 1/4 to 1/2 Tank, because the Gas can go bad quickly |
