Ethenol? Bring it on as it will do wonders for my 10.5-1 comp.

I try a couple of tanks of Ethenol in my '07 Road King Classic and it didn't run very well at all. I thought there was something wrong with the scoot.

harley has been using ethanol safe parts for several years now. i've got 10.5 pop up pistons and have no problems using gas with ethanol in it. when i have the choice, i'll use the gas without it, of course. i get no detonation or ping at all. i use the highest grade i can find, but if i can only find regular, i'd use it rather than walking, at least to the next station where i could top it off with the good stuff.

{quote}"In a world where people starve by the millions every year how much sense does it make to use land that could grow crops for human or animal consumption to produce a fuel that is less effective than gasoline, damages rubber and plastic, and decreases fuel economy?" So True!
