I've been having trouble getting my 59 J-code to keep running There is a fuel delivery problem. After eliminating other potential problems I sent the carb out to be rebuilt. The rebuilder contacted me and said the carb is full of water and corrosion. He is surprised the car ran at all. This brings me to my question. I've never had this problem before. I always top up the tank and added sea foam just prior to storage (unheated indoor). Recently, non-ethanol fuel has become available in our area and two years ago I started topping up with that. Since ethanol soaks up water am I hurting myself by fueling with non-ethanol gas prior to storage (the old gasoline deicer was nothing more than alcohol)? Was sea foam a bad idea and I should be using Stabil? Of course, there is always the possibility that I did nothing wrong but "lucked" into a bad tank of gas. I will need to siphon off my existing gas and purge the fuel line and pump before I start running with the new carburetor.
