 Has anybody used this Star-Tron additive in their gas to over come the ethanol crap in the gas .... I had run across one gas station  here in San Antonio that did not have any ethanol crap in their gas and my old Fat Lady ran great , but they changed back to the 10% ethanol crap gas again during the summer due to some kind of mandate here in Texas  tickedoff all I have noticed is this ethanol crape gas does not help my Valk or my El Camino's run worth a damn   Angry Thanks the Geezer

Your gas was probably E10 before too just not labeled correctly.

ethanol makes an engine run leaner. so  u have to increase the fuel flow to compensate.
1. open up the idle mixture screw 1 turn see how it runs, up to 4 turns open will work after that a larger pilot jet is needed.
2. shim needles or get factorypro adjustable needles.
3. stock exhaust and airbox/filter main jet is most likely ok.
4. in place of 3 and 4 u could install a dial-a-jet system. works very well, have had mine for 9 yrs.
