I have been worrying about gasohol for a few months, and have been carrying out some research and experimentation.
My wife put gasohol in her 1997 250 Honda rebel and it died , we had to do a total carb rebuild.
I bought several different types of fuel line and left them to soak in gasohol, some fuel line dissolved, as it reacted with the ethyl alcohol in Gasohol. Imagine what that will do to your carbs or fuel injectors.
Harley model post 1999 will run fine on gasohol.Harley says it is OK as they have prepared the fuel system to use it.
Ducati and Triumph say never use it .
Honda, yamaha Kawasaki and suzuki say do not use it.
I dont know about BMW.
If no premium 95 octane is available for my ducati i use 91 it runs OK but may require an octane booster.
Gasohol is not being promoted in europe , in fact higher octane fuels of 97 ,98 and even 99 octane are now available. In UK the lowest octane fuel is 95 octane . No 91 octane is sold.
