Title: Chevron 94 ? Post by: rz5mark on September 15, 2024, 12:56:44 PM I bought some in Ashcroft and and the pump was marked Ethanol free ? Is the marking old or did they switch back to E free ?
Title: Re: Chevron 94 ? Post by: Steve G. on September 15, 2024, 01:00:22 PM Hard to say, Ashcroft delivery is out of Edmonton right now. Did you test it?
I tested Chevron 94 late July , Fraser Hwy at Bradner Road, it was a full10% ethanol. Title: Re: Chevron 94 ? Post by: rz5mark on September 15, 2024, 02:21:53 PM No test kit.
I asked the company so waiting on a response. Title: Re: Chevron 94 ? Post by: Steve G. on September 16, 2024, 07:17:23 AM It’s very possible the local station owner neglected to pull the sticker off the pump. Would not be the first time I’ve seen that, after confirming ethanol presence. Title: Re: Chevron 94 ? Post by: rz5mark on September 16, 2024, 04:43:01 PM Correct.
Parkland retail fuels (Chevron) confirmed ethanol and that they would contact the retailer to remove decals. Title: Re: Chevron 94 ? Post by: Steve G. on September 16, 2024, 08:28:56 PM Im running low on my 0% ethanol inventory, and will be searching for 25 litres of E 0 for winter storage and stuff. I’ll keep this forum updated. Winter blends start changing over October 1st in NWT and Northern BC. Title: Re: Chevron 94 ?

Make sure you start with the highest octane you can get for this process. A large clear water jug used in offices might work well for larger quantities. Oh, and a fire extinguisher. https://www.wikihow.com/Remove-Ethanol-from-Gas Title: Re: Chevron 94 ? Post by: Steve G. on September 17, 2024, 10:34:26 AM Interesting! They are using 240 ml - 3.8 litres as a ratio to “bond down” the ethanol. Assuming a 10% ethanol ratio, that would mean .380 ml of ethanol, using a 1 - 1.6 ratio. I had been told and read that to bond down ethanol, it must be done on a theoretical equal measure volume. Title: Re: Chevron 94 ? Post by: Steve G. on September 17, 2024, 01:17:54 PM Went shopping today. Thought I’d check a few stations Confirm that Shell 93 Nitro, and Chevron 94 are at 10%. Otter Coop 91 still at 0% ethanol.
