The US government EPA has recently approved the use of a 15% alcohol (ethanol) gasoline blend. Most vehicle manufacturers will void warranties for vehicles 2012 and older if this blend is used. This brings to mind some questions:
1. How will this effect my 2000 LT?
2. Would the use of gas additives such as Startron, Seafoam, etc., reduce or eliminate the potential harm if I am forced to use this gas blend?
3. Can I proactively change vulnerable parts, seals, etc., in order to prevent damage?
4. Could a new computer chip for the LT be programmed to use this gas blend?
5.What do my fellow forum members think? Am I once again overly alarmed like I was during the Y2K situation?
6. Does this mean that the action of the US government inadvertantly will lead to hardships of owners of older vehicles which includes all the BMW K1200 LT's ever made?
