[NJairheads] Blender Pumps

[JP Saitta]

Hi David,

Excuse my ignorance on the subject.  What should we look for when we fuel
up?  I'm in Northern NJ as well and 0 ethanol is hard to find if not
impossible.

For what it's worth, I have a 77 r100/7 and many small engines (leaf
blower, lawn mower, weed whacker, snow blower).

Thank you,
JP
