Listmentors,

Of course,
I can't be conclusive- but nothing else I tested, swapped, or pounded with a
rubber mallet changed anything for three weeks until about 2 tankfuls after
I stopped buying ARCO and had no more ARCO gas in the tank. It could have
been a specific station, I don't know.

I'm not usually one to advocate using or not using a product, but I'll make
an exception, just for the list.
Maybe you should try it. I encourage all who have ARCO stations to try
their alcohol-infused gasoline to see if I'm the only one who gets water in
my gas from them. Try ARCO.I dare you.
