I have a ethanol question
I just noticed at my local sunoco station they put up decals on the pumps that say "all fuel contains 10% ethanol. Refer to manufacturer for vehicles older than 1985". My camaro is an 84'. Do I have anything to worry about?

Re: I have a ethanol question
I have an 84 as well but I have never had a problem and I have been running it on 10% ethanol for a long time
Re: I have a ethanol question
just used ethanol (10%) for the first time this last week end. out side temps were high 90s my first runs each day were the only runs i had no trouble. id get 1/4 mile up the hill and it was like i ran out of fuel and would take several seconds to clear. i really think it was vapor lock due to ethanol....
