Awesome work John! Thankfully here in my part of Upstate New York we have Stewarts Gas Stations that have Non-Ethanol Premium. I always recommend it to my friends with Antique Apparatus and Vintage Vehicles, and I mix in Marvel Mystery Oil with it. Has never let me down. Even in my lawnmower sitting over the winter with fuel in it, in the spring, it fires right off. The Fire Company I used to be a member of has a 1931 Ahrens Fox R-60. It's a really nice piece, but today, the poor thing is on permanent static display because no one would listen to my suggestions, everything had to be a cost saving measure, everyone in the company aside from myself and one other person haven't the foggiest clue how that machine is supposed to run, and the current Chief saw it as a liability and a headache so there she sits. It kills me seeing it sitting there every time I pass the firehouse. No more parades, no more Musters, no more cruise ins or car shows. All due to the stubborness of people who refused to be educated. Wish I could get my hands on it as the owner and do with it as I see fit. It'd be driving AND pumping like new.

Hey glad you enjoyed the video!

[@andyb9072]

I truly enjoy watching your videos they need to be longer like 30 minutes and have 2 or 3 aweek

I totally agree man but everybody needs to know I run a full time business, I'm not a KZbinr so its tough to take time to do a lot of videos and stuff while I'm at work. I will try my best though and I hope you keep watching! Thanks.

I buy non ethanol aviation gas, its a little expensive but its worth it.

Yes thats a common issue today but I think the new generation of young people are starting to discover working with their hands again and I think it will get better as time goes on. Hoepfully anyway!!
