He says the gas the get is from utah oil and is refined in SLC and has 4 % ethonol in it although the sign on the pumps say it can be up to 10%. I try to only fill up there because of the price, but have not put there has in the blazer yet. Going to go with the phenolic spacer et richening up the carb as specified in the article.
The problem you have were you have to crank the livin' sheite out of your truck to fill the Q'jet float bowl after it sets for one day may be because the gasoline is leaking out of the carb through some casting plugs. This has been covered on another thread.
