Hello Wayne - 

WC>>> I just ran a bottle or two of ethanol through the tank
WC>>> from time to time and cleaned out the carb bowls. 

->> With most cars having fuel injection now there are no 'carb
->> bowls'. 

WC> I know this however I'm getting OLD. 

Fortunately you have friends to watch over you. ;-) 

->> Electric fuel pump gets the fuel to the injectors with no
->> need for a resevoir. 

WC> Yup. 

WC>>> Speaking motorcycle here and the effect of using the
WC>>> ethanol was pronounced. 

->> I've had good luck with STP brand 'cleaners' over the years. 

WC> Had a Gran Torino once that was pretty weird, for a time it
WC> ran fine on gasolene then it would spit - sputter and lose
WC> power, switch to gasohol and it ran until it did the same
WC> thing than back to gasolene. Strange. 

Sounds like that station wasn't pumping the water out of it's
tanks often enough and you had to search for the 'dryest' of
the bunch. :-)
