Anyone know when the switch from Winter to Sumer blends occurs? I seem to think it's around May 1st, but can't find anything on it. I'm putting off tuning the carbs until around then....

According to https://auto.howstuffworks.com/fuel-efficiency/fuel-consumption/summer-fuel.htm/printable refineries and terminals have to switch between April 1 & May 1; while stations have until June 1 to continue selling 'winter' blend.

Hey - good article. I'd heard the reason for the switch was to make winter starts easier. Must be spin. Glad the May 1 wasn't imagination.

That would be in "propane" aka LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), not "gasoline". And they do put butane in the propane (although I'm not sure about 40%) in areas where it gets below about -30F, to keep the vapor pressure up. Propane remains a liquid at -44F.TRED said:
