I just found out that our major fuel supplier here in ND [cenex] will no longer be offering fuel without ethanol,they said by march but that could be next week what kind of jetting changes are we going to have to make to run this junk?
 

E-10 is all we've had here in northern Michigan for years. I really haven't had much trouble with it. A little less mpg and it doesn't age very well so I wouldn't run any thats very old. I'm reasonably convinced the additive Startron helps for real with potential problems and its an excellent fuel stabilizer.
 
Been running e 10 for close to 20 years now in all sorts of toys. I have had practically no problems, and unless your old fuel was nasty or varnished, you should be fine. IME, most vehicles that are seasonal ( sleds, boats, snow blowers) do see varnish being cleaned from old gas when first going to e 10. My venture has the oxygenated fuel switch that I do flip on when I know e 10 is what I am running. I know that I have used e 10 with the switch to normal fuel too. No issues that way either.
