    See I never noticed that. I was in the towing section and it was a truck and trailer. Then I tested what you said and it worked. Except second gen. It was still a first gen on their thread home page

    Supposedly they're working on new software, I just don't know when the update will be. I know they're working on something where you can tag other member in your posts kind of like facebook

    I've seen some nasty stuff ethanol can do to fuel systems that aren't designed for it. Tore apart a 1967 outboard and the float in the carb was literally gone from the ethanol. Local marina's here always have pics of the jellified ethanol that clogs up the fuel lines on boats. It's destroys small gas engine fuel lines, makes them hard and brittle, then they crack. It's just terrible stuff, it's basically alcohol which is very corrosive
