On my 46 JD B when we put E10 in it, condensation seperates the gas and alcohol out, and the tractor ceases to run because the alcohol being heaver settles to the bottom and it doesen't have enough compression to light it. E85 has about 100 octane (the higher the # the slower the burn) which is about twice the amount gas had when these things were made. I only run straigh 87 in mine, nothing but problems with E10 and I don't like standing there draining alcohol out of the bowl with a 10 % mix, I ain't even going to bother with a 85% mix.
