I would love to hear other opinions!
I totally agree with Dennis conclusions.

But our "unleaded gas" is a highly refined in comparison.

I think we may all agree, With the introduction of "ethyl gas", the breakdown is much accelerated as compared to " leaded gas" which was available in the model years which were referred to.

In this area all we have available, from the pump, is gas laced with alcohol which =increased phase separation and the alcohol attracts moisture.
How does that correspond to the "new two cycle oil?

Guess my question is.... Why in the last 2 years has oil had propensity to go "bad"? Where did they come up with that?

I have utilized a product by E-ZOI, "PHASE-OUT". Its an anti phase separation additive, available through Winn's dealers, and you can check it out on the site. I have had good results with it as a fuel supplement.

Love to hear a chemist chime in, I am, honestly, I am very curious in everyone's input on this subject and understanding the change, what this "new phenomenon" all about?!?
