i went and got gas last night to ride in the snow. put it in my quad but didnt start it because i had to go to my moms. but its 87 octane and on the pump it said it may contain up to 10% ethanol. is it going to mess my quad up to run a tank of that? i filled all the way up too

almost all gas comes with 10 percent now its bull**** but its how they make their money and it wolnt hurt a thing worst it can do is absorbe water and cause ur quad to run like sht or not run but tht hardly happens over night

You'll be fine.

I'm right next to California, they lead the charge on anyting environmental. Except for race gas, I can't get gas without ethanol, I've been running it for years. No worries.
