K100 Fuel treatment

I just used that link for ethanol free fuel. Called the closest place to me. They want $23.30 per gallon. Thirty three dollars and thirty cents. I almost choked, they must be nuts.

That is why we don't bother trying to sell those quarts of ethanol free - people around here have a little more sense to realize that $4.95/quart = $19.80/gallon when you can get just as good results with e-10 pumped at the gas station ($3.69/gallon) plus a dose of Ethanol Shield at about 30 cents per gallon dose (8.99/bottle)

The info I have on Esso is about 6 months old - that was the last time I checked. But I only use Shell 91 anyway...

...I haven't tried this myself to see whether it actually works...

Take a bottle of food coloring with you, take a sample of the gas in a bottle, drop one droplet of coloring in the gas, if the droplet stays together and sinks to the bottom of the bottle it is FREE of eth. Now if the gas turns the color of the food coloring you are using it contains eth! How this works? Food coloring is water, eth will absorbe water!! Eth free gas will not absorbe water and there for the droplet will stay together!!

Shell V-Power premium gasoline in Canada does not contain ethanol.

Since 2007 the Ontario government mandated that all refiners and fuel suppliers in Ontario maintain an average of 5% ethanol in their gasoline pool. Esso and Shell decided to meet this mandate by blending up to 10% ethanol in their regular grade of gasoline and 0% ethanol in their premium (91 Octane) product. Suncor on the other hand, decided to put 10% Ethanol in their premium grades as well as their regular grade. Like all retailers in Ontario, Pioneer's gasolines may contain up to 10% ethanol.

It appears Esso 91 is no longer free of ethanol, and has switched to 'may contain' in order to reach to gov't mandated targets for total sales. I for one am not going to trust a station attendant to put a sticker on the pump, half the time they can't keep the paper stocked for receipts.

Ethanol-blended gasoline
Ethanol-blended gasoline is currently available at participating Esso service stations in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario. Stations selling ethanol-blended gasoline have a label on the pump indicating the gasoline may contain up to 10 percent ethanol.

No ethanol in the gas is the best, but 95% of people use gas with ethanol.
So I agree with Brian

we'll swear by B3C Solutions' Mechanic in a Bottle - It even breaks up and demolishes Hardened and cured Epoxy Resin... (Proven Experience here.) so it has no trouble with gum and varnish in a carburetor

I use Mechanic in a bottle too, if the carb needs it or just add Ethanol shield to the gas when I purchase the gas. Sorry I feel there is nothing on the market that compares, but that is not just my opinion , look it up and you will see many people that agree B3C fuel solutions has a few good products for our market.
Thank you Brian for originally introducing this product to me last year.

This off the K100 site...I just gotta try this..

already tried by someone here (http://www.mastercraft.com/teamtalk/arc ... -1037.html)

Is There a Way to Test K100?

Test for yourself and see the difference.

As a comparison, you may wish to repeat the tests below with the fuel treatment you are currently using. As most treatments are petroleum based, chances are your treatment will show separation and water presence in the first test, freeze in the second, burn with a dark sooty smoke in the third, and exhibit signs of rust in the fourth. We feel confident that the differences will become immediately apparent.

Test #1: Fill a small, clear glass bottle 1/3 with water, 2/3 with K100. Note the clear solution - K100 has completely mixed with, and encapsulated, the water molecules. It will never separate. Use water detecting paste to find no water present.
Test #2: Put the treated bottle into your freezer for as long as you like - water treated with K100 will not freeze. Each water molecule is separated from the adjacent one by a film of K100, so the water molecules can't coalesce to form ice crystals despite the cold.
Test #3: Do not do this test using any fuel or near any combustible material. Twist a small paper towel inot a wick, insert it a few inches into the treated bottle and light the wick. It will burn cleanly, with no smoke at all. Llisten carefully and you will hear small popping sounds as the individual water molecules flash off as steam. K100 removes the water from the fuel by "burning" it off as the engine runs.
Test #4: Put an uncoated common nail into the sample and leave for as long as you like - there is no sign of rust because the water molecule is completely surrounded by K100, leaving no oxygen available to support rusting.

Great now try dipping a piece of aluminum in that solution and then , like in real life, let it set for a few days as the alcohol/water evaporates and watch your aluminum start to grow white crystal flakes from corrosion.

That's just too funny !!! Wonder how long you would have to wait for a steel nail to rust in plain water?
