Gas in Mcbride

[CRF230LKEL]

It seems the Chevron will never be back, or any new good stations.
So with just the mohawk, which as far as i know has ethanol in its gas, where are sledders to fill up at.
That ethanol in the gas is horrible, tried it once, and sled ran very badly.
Can only haul so many jerry cans around.

Thanks

Isint it a husky there?? and i have never had a problem with there fuel in my machine.

I had a few hiccups with my sled, but don't think it was due to Husky fuel...

We do just have a husky in town and that is the fuel that we run in all of our rentals and i run in my own M1000 and never had any issues. The husky here also just went thru a major upgrade. They have all new underground tanks, pumps. Ans not sure if they got there first shipment of it in yet this season but they usually have marked boat gas which is marked 94 octane.

so thats how they get around the ethanol in fuel law set by the govt.
sell marked fuel for the sleds. just dont get caught with it in your vehicle.

I`m not sure what you mean by ethanol laws. The reason they put dye in it is so that you dont have to pay the road taxes. But yes it is against the law to run it in your vehicle on the road unless you have a farm plate on your vehicle. The marked premium is cheaper than non marked regular.

Sorry i confused mohawk and husky, i always think of them as the same, since they are really the same mother company.

Is the marked 94 non-ethanol gas?

Even my zrt which is not high compression, or fancy, just a fun short track sled hates ethanol.

If the 94 marked is not ethanol blended, that would be great.

But i thought all husky/mohawk gas had ethanol.......hoping i am wrong.

I beleive that it is the same as there normal premium 94 octane just they add dye and dont charge road taxes on it.

You can run marked fuel in your sleds if it is sold @ the pump as it is for " offroad use". Its no different then buying marked fuel for your boat at the pumps.

it is in another thread on this subject. it is goverment mandated,canadian govt, that all fuel sold for useon the road has a min of 4%, i believe it is, ethanol blend. as of june 1st 2009 i think it was. everybody has it now just some chose not to advertise it.
however being marked for offroad use only fuel it will have a different set of rules.

I just talked the husky gas station manager. And he told me that they now have the marked boat gas in stock, he also said that it is 91 octane and does not conatin ethanol. That was what he was told by husky he said, he said he just found that out this fall.

Therefore the marked boat gas is the way to go?

thats probably why its only 91. doesnt have the cheap ethanol booster to bring it up to the 94 that they usually sell.

Unless this one is different, none of our cardlocks sell premium...

 

[CRF230LKEL]

Thanks for all the info, its good to know the 91 premium marked is ethanol free.

Unless it has changed from last year, which I'm sure it hasn't. It does not have premium.
