Mixing gas Q
 
I have ethanol free gas in my tank, will it hurt anything if I put regular gas in my tank with it ?

Thanks!!!!!

No. If you can continue to get ethanol free gas that's not a bad idea, but mixing non ethanol with a blend like 10% ethanol should be fine.

Ill keep using it, but Im taking her out on a longish run after FINALLY getting her issues taken care of, and the only ethanol free gas in town is closed today, (of course) lol

If I can't find ethanol free gas I put 93 Octane 10% Ethanol in my truck. Actually, the engine kinda likes the octane boost. But, when I can I try to use 89 Octane non-ethanol just because the 93 non-ethanol is so expensive around here (about $4 a gallon).

I may be wrong but I have been told ethanol is only bad if it sits.

I have 21 gallons of ethanol gas I drained from my tank sitting in 5 jugs. I am thinking about just putting a "free" sign on it with a note letting the new owner know exactly what he's getting and be done with it. The stuff is 9 years old.

Richards, that is true, this will be burnt up though. Then before winter it will have the ethanol free again before it has to sit most of the winter.
