    Default Fuel choices for a 2017 Freewheeler

    Seems that i read somewhere that you could not run Ethanol in a Freewheeler. Could some one verify this for me.

    Yes you can

    I try to run ethanol free whenever I can

    It burns more complete, hotter flame front and is better for ALL parts internal and rubber parts in the tank and fuel lines etc

    It does not cause as much corosion in the fuel system either

    I would like to thank you for your information about the fuel and ethanol.

    All the stations around me have at lest 10% ethanol. I am the worlds worst for not getting gas until the needle is touching the empty mark.

    Definitely do not run an ethanol content higher than 10%.

    With any vehicle that has the fuel pump in the tank, keeping the fuel from getting too low helps cool the pump with the gas. I had to drop (have it done) the 75 gallon tank in my motorhome to replace the pump when it quit.

    Unfortunately the only place I've seen ethanol free fuel was at a Stewart's in upstate NY. And the trike runs like night and day. The local one does not offer it. I believe it's the County Government that has final say, the state is ok with it unless the treehuggers start complaining.

    California is mostly Ethanol free, ARB says it is a pollutant. Of course we are paying $3.50 a gallon for premium out here.

    I have the pure-gas APP on my smart phone. It lists by distance the stations that have ethanol free gas and what grades they sell. Boaters need pure gas for their outboards!!!!

    Almost everything here has ethanol, 10% and 91. If you get up around Taos, 90 is the very best you can find. Jim
