RUNNING NON EHTHNOL IN THE 1500

[KC RANGER XD 1500]

Is this a no no in the 1500 model#

I’ve run several tanks of 87 octane ethanol free gas with no issues. The only fuel related issues I’ve heard of is using higher octane gas in cold temperatures.

When it’s cold, mine will run rough and have a hard time starting with 91 octane non ethanol. My dealer suggested using regular pump gas with ethanol 89 octane, and it will improve. Haven’t had the chance to swap yet, since I had about 25 gallons of ethanol free.

I have never heard of any engine needing corn syrup so I think you will be fine. Non-ethonal is pricey here and not necessary.

I give "Big Red" the good stuff whether she needs it or not. When you drive the fastest color, you have to have the best petrol she can handle. Seriously I had an issue with ethanol years ago in a smaller engine and have stayed away from it in my toys and small engines ever since. Is it a waste of money.........probably, a lot has changed since the early days. Either way I give my toys the best they can handle and have never had a problem since.
