I run ethanol free fuel in all my carbureted and small engines.

Last Friday I hooked a trailer loaded with a mini excavator to my Longhorn and headed east 45 miles to help my BIL with a flipper house he bought.

I was running late and had no ethanol free fuel on that side of town, so I filled up with 10% ethanol. On the morning trip, it was cool, and the old truck was running great.

On the return trip the temp's were in the nineties. In the long pulls, the truck started to vapor lock.

I have about a mile of uphill pull to the shop, and I got about 150 feet from the gate when it completely quit. I let it cool for 10 minutes and it ran enough to get me in the gate.

I have two big blocks that will vapor lock when running ethanol in hot weather.
