That's a ridiculous claim, sorry.

My friends brand new civic was destroyed filling up at a BP servo and he uses nothing but 98 (part of that train of destroyed cars on the freeway). Those cars lined up with hydrolocked engines were due to water seepage into the servo fuel tank. I have a picture of a water bottle showing the contents of the supposed fuel showing all the grit and water.

Assumptions are dangerous and contribute alot of misinformation

I've run nothing but e70+ for the past 3 years
