It's been in our winter fuel here in the Northwest for Clean Air Law compliance for many years (and might also now be used year around)and I have used it in my '54 TO-30 with no problems....so far.

This has already been tried in Europe and it went ok no problems but it was thought that it was hardly worth the trouble for the savings involved, which is what most seem to be looking for and not the cleaner running. It may be a different story if the tractors were working full time.

Probably will be Okay... but with warnings!!

1-The ethanol will act as a cleaner/solvent and may cause the release of the many years of gum, grunge and lacquer buildup in the tank, lines and carburetor. This could clog your filters and/or passages in your carburetor. This can be nuisance until the system is eventually clean.

2- Most modern materials that are made to be compatible with gasoline will survive as well in E10. However, some older materials (like some >10-15 year old gaskets, seals and sealing compounds) may shrink (or expand), harden (or soften). This is not an immediate effect and there would not be a catastrophic failure, but over time leaks may develop that will require seal/gasket changes.
