Re: Failed emissions on 83 CJ7. Any suggestions?
ETOH sounds like a good idea - I would think that ethyl or methyl would be a
better choice - but does anybody know if there might be a problem with any
part of the fuel system. I remember hearing about issues with floats, seats,
etc on carbs when "ethanol" was popular a while back. I have also heard that
most of the new vehicles can handle ETOH - but have heard other rumors &
propaganda about NMT 10%.

better choice - but does anybody know if there might be a problem with any
part of the fuel system. I remember hearing about issues with floats, seats,
etc on carbs when "ethanol" was popular a while back. I have also heard that
