This station was native America owned, but I was told they keep one that's completely ethanol free for the snowmobilers and others who prefer it. I personally have never noticed it displayed so prominently before though and only tried it because I saw some people here complaining of ethanol causing engine issues in their Harleys.
It wasn't the fuel. On the first start you still had the old gas in the lines. The new gas had not had time to go thru the lines, throttle body and injectors.
