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 ?

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.

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.

Correct.
Parkland retail fuels (Chevron) confirmed ethanol and that they would contact the retailer to remove decals.

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.

Should you want to clean your own fuel please see the attached link.
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.

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.

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.
