Title: Ethanol Fuel Report October 11/24 Post by: Steve G. on October 11, 2024, 10:10:01 PM This thread only for those who wish to store their motorbike or any other gas powered machine through the winter with no concerns of ethanol damage. I can confirm that again, the only fuel supplier on Metro Vancouver selling 0% ethanol additive is Otter Co-op 91. Tested Oct 11/24 @ 6pm.

Title: Re: Ethanol Fuel Report October 11/24 Post by: Steve G. on October 12, 2024, 07:45:09 AM I haven’t been able to get an answer. Maybe it’s ethanol supply. The nearest ethanol plant in Canada is in Saskatchewan. Nearest here in B.C. is a small facility within Cherry Point in Ferndale, WA. Maybe it’s the big boys having more contract power than the little suppliers. If you look at the information written on every fuel pump, it says “gasoline may contain ethanol”. Title: Re: Ethanol Fuel Report October 11/24 Post by: Steve G. on November 13, 2024, 06:44:06 PM Hate to bring this up again. Local lad based in Qualicum Beach, who says today,,,,,local Chevron is advertising 94 octane at 15% ethanol. This is danger zone for most of my bikes. I shall have to do intermittent testing this winter to see if there’s any basis to this. Title: Re: Ethanol Fuel Report October 11/24 Post by: rz5mark on November 14, 2024, 07:25:05 PM I called out Chevron in Ashcroft, 94 advertised as ethanol free.
Title: Re: Ethanol Fuel Report October 11/24 Post by: Steve G. on November 14, 2024, 08:38:37 PM Very interesting!!!! I shall do more testing tomorrow. Title: Re: Ethanol Fuel Report October 11/24 Post by: rz5mark on November 15, 2024, 06:19:35 AM Chevon's bulk supplier is Parkland retail fuels. And ALL Chevron fuel contains 10% ethanol.
Title: Re: Ethanol Fuel Report October 11/24 Post by: Steve G. on November 15, 2024, 08:15:47 PM You are correct. A contact I have in Qualicum is indicating that Chevron's on Vancouver Island are advertising 15%. Probably no basis at all that Van Isle would have unique blends all their own. I'm in Abbotsford tomorrow , be doing testing. 15% is a game changer.

Title: Re: Ethanol Fuel Report October 11/24 Post by: Steve G. on March 14, 2025, 10:18:52 AM Ethanol free gasoline report, March 23, 2025. Otter Co-op 91, and Esso 91 are ethanol free. Title: Re: Ethanol Fuel Report October 11/24 Post by: hardrockminer on March 14, 2025, 07:47:36 PM Esso 91 province wide?
Title: Re: Ethanol Fuel Report October 11/24 Post by: Steve G. on March 14, 2025, 09:11:39 PM I can’t report province wide. Only southwest mainland BC. There are refinery sources for B.C. . Central and northern BC are looked after by the refinery in Prince George. SW BC is looked after by refineries ery in Ferndale, Wa, and a little bit by Parkland refinery in Burnaby. SE BC and south central BC is looked after by delivery out of Edmonton.
