Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / March 2007Dri Gas Question
Hello: Live in New England. Questions regarding the necessity or desireability of Dry-Gas additive. a. Have always used, about once a month or so, in the gas tank during the winter. I see now that the gas from the pump has 10 % Ethanol Alcohol added. With this amount of Alcohol, is it still a good idea to use Dri Gas any, or would it be silly to, since the Alcohol content of the gas is fairly high with the Ethanol ? b. Is the Ethanol usually still added in the summer ? If not, Dri-Gas a good idea for the summer months ? Why ? Thanks, Bob > Hello: > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > Thanks, > Bob You may get several opinions, because facts are scarce sometimes. IMO, you do not need to add Dri-Gas. At least in this part of the country there is plenty of ethanol in the gasoline to take care of a good bit of moisture. I will occasionally use a gasoline additive like Techron just to help keep the injectors clean, but honestly that is probably not needed either.

I've lived in New England all my life, and I haven't used any form of "dry gas" for more than 40 years without a fuel line freezup.....not one! A ten percent ethanol blend is plenty.......... > Hello: > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > a. Have always used, about once a month or so, in the gas tank during the > winter.
