Has anyone had trouble with gas from Murphy oil? We have a mechanic in our town who has reported to quite a few people that the fuel has to much ethanol mixed in it,This is supposedly eating up fuel pumps! what is your experience with this gas? just-n-time.

E85 doesn't eat up fuel pumps so I would think that unless he has E100, it shouldn't do anything but that is just my thinking.

I dunno Murphy Oil? E85?

Oxygenates (such as ethanol and MTBE) ?? Or that E85 stuff?

A lot of guys with hi-po motors or old muscle cars/classics avoid the stuff. Cars run like **** in some cases and do cause probs with f. pumps

The MN Hot Rod Assoc'n has a great list of gas stations of all stations in the state that don't serve it.

I avoid it because ethanol has lower BTU.

All gas in CT has 10% ethanol mixed in. I don't know if it's a seasonal thing to replace the MTBE (?) or not.

Consumer Reports did a test on a FlexFuel Tahoe and the mileage on E85 IIRC was roughly 70% of that on RUG.

Murphy is the company that owns the gas stations at walmart/sams,at least here in Louisiana.One mechanic is reporting to his customers that there is a problem,I cant see it so, I thought I would ask if any one else was having trouble.JNT

UP date on fuel pump I just had to replace one on my wifes car 420sel,seams as though it is giving trouble with the plastic part in the pumps,I called the 800 # for this company and they seem to know just what I was talking about. they are sending the forms for the mechanic and the owner to fill out,sure am glad I keep my fuel receipts.JNT

It screws up the mixture on the IP of my 6.3
