Engine cutoff at 70+ mph is just marginally frightening

[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1452803, member: 19880"] OP already established that his issue was a intermittent battery connection. Gas needs to be pretty bad to end out with phase separation. With ethyl alcohol in typical E10 pump fuel, it will tolerate a fair amount of moisture before it separates out (up to 0.5% or so). Alcohol-free gasoline will absorb only 0.01% or so before separation so an alcohol-based stabilizer will help. Note: Although E10 is more tolerant of water, it also has a greater tendency to absorb moisture from humid air. Best defence is to get fresh gas from a station with high turnover and keep your tank full. [/QUOTE]
