In Reply To Ethanol Corrosion Preventer Use or Not? posted by BenWP on February 02, 2016 at 09:32 AM
     
Message Most grades of fuel have a small portion of ethanol but you probably don't have much to worry about when it comes to corrosion unless you try to run e85.

Running e85 in your N/A car would be dumb unless you can get it for damn near free. You'd need to use a lot more, and you wouldn't get much for power gains without a turbo. Also, an ecu reflash/tune would be needed for it - if the stock injectors could even flow the needed volume of fuel.

If you're running normal premium with only 10-15% ethanol and it's your daily driver you'll be fine. If you plan to store it, you should probably run it pretty empty and fill up with non-oxy premium and some fuel stabilizer.

Non-oxy fuel is available in many places and is generally used in small engines, carborated engines and classic cars. There are websites you can use to find where to access non-oxy fuel near you.
