What new gas are you talking about?

I have been getting ethanol blended gasoline
at the local Farm Co-op since the 70's

And no it doesn't gum up carburetors
Quite the opposite it will clean out
gummed up gas tanks

I have a mid-1950's lawnmower with a 6BS engine and Pulsa-jet carb
that starts on the second or third pull in the spring even if I left
gas in it over the winter. The Gulf gas I buy hasn't turned foul-
smelling or gummed a carb yet (experiments, not normal practice).

It does cause black mold on the outside of the can.
