back to 98 ethanol free no chirps, but it does take a tank or two to go away completely.


very occasionally on really hot days you will get the odd squeak.




strangely on E85, no chirps after a tank or two.


maybe is some additive in your fuel for cold climates or their sneaking in 5-10% ethanol in fuels supposed to be ethanol free
LOL Cole did not use the proper sarcasm font. He is well aware that it is the ethanol content that feeds the crickets. We have several ethanol free fuels here at different octane and I can pretty much makes the chirp come or go at will just by filling up at certain stations during hot weather.
