Mcbride Gas Stations

I heard a rumor that the Chevron is closed but the Husky is open. Even heard they both shut down for a while. If this rumor is/was true what happened.

Chevron is closed down, and the husky is now open from 7am to 7pm seven days a week for now, than they are open 24h, they have diesel and super, I called the husky about a hour ago because I wondered about this after I booked my room.

How bad is ethanol for sleds? Should we bring our own fuel?

The 3 of us coming up thursday are running with 1-RMK 600 2006 and 2-700 08' dragons. Are the new sleds ok to run ethanol in?

You shouldn't have any problems at all running the gas that is available here..

2009 Polaris sleds have a plug you need to switch if running 10% ethanol fuel or higher. Comes with your owners manual.

I read that and it sounded like alot of complaining and no real facts, my 09 summit is rated to run on 10% methanol or ethanol but it must be premium, if a fellow is concerned about it bring forty litres with him to mix with the husky fuel, I've seen alot of people last year fuel their sled at the husky and I've never read or heard about a engine failure.
The one benifit about the blended fuel is you shouldn't have to use gasline antifreeze

Ethanol blended gas is also slightly higher octane I believe... Not sure if it's enough to notice.

I spoke with a guy at Cycleworks who said all gas stations (save Shell or Esso he wasnt sure which one) put a % of ethanol in their gas as a winterizing additive to prevent gas freezing.

I ride and 08 Dragon and he said its setup from the factory to run on a blend no more than 10%. I filled up at Petro-Can all last year and i know they have a winter-agent in their gas. So far so good.

Guess i will be ok.

Side note on gasolines..... Petro-canada, and the other big 2 do not use any ethanol at present.... It is being tested down east, as it is supposed to be legislation for small blends of ethanol only, by 2010(although doubted it will proceed, because ethanol is so dry, it affects seals/gaskets etc in the big tanker trucks -- refinery manager told me that after 4 trips of hauling ethanol, the seals/gaskets in the tankers are all damaged/dried up-- so would it really be more environmentally safe? DOUBTFUL)..... Husky and mohawk are the only 2 retailers to sell ethanol blends, and they used to be 5% blend and now they are 10% blend, maximum. Ethanol does not affect octane boost at all. Petro-canada and most refineries use methanol as a gas line anti-freeze, and p/can adds a tactrol blend too.

Just thought ya might want to know.........
