<VV> A partial solution for ethanol

[Jason Cesana]

Has anyone tried to see if the lead additive works to settle out the e-10
gas? My car is under winter wrap right now (with the temp at 10 today who
can blame me with no heat in her) and am curious to see how it will start up
in a few days after sitting for three weeks.

Has anybody tried Star-Tron from Wal Mart?  It's supposed to eliminate
problems from using E-10 gasoline.  They didn't have Sta-Bil marine.
