        I have two tanked Festiva carb intake manifolds and one tanked Mazda 323 intake manifold that could be used for reconfiguring (welding, facing and tapping).

                You have 100% (ethanol-free) gasoline in Topeka & some along the highways around Topeka, specially toward Kansas City. Go to pure-gas.org for addresses, details & a great zoomable map to 100% gasoline sources. After you clear all the bad gas out, you won't need any gasoline treatments, except the 100% gasoline.

                  Yeah thats what i put in. It just had a couple gallons of old gas in it. Ive found octane booster helps make that crap burn.

                    The fuel injected tank has a drain bolt, might had been better to drain out those few gallons than to run them through the engine.

                      Where i was getting it running it wasnt really an option. Im gonna run it a bit then change the filter and pull and clean the injectors.
