The Texas House of Representatives introduced legislation to prohibit the sale of motor fuel with an ethanol mixture.

Legislation to prohibit the sale of motor fuel with an ethanol mixture was introduced in the Texas House of Representatives. The bill recognizes that ethanol fuels cause problems with fuel pumps, fuel gauges, as well as other engine performance issues, especially over a period of time when the vehicle is not used. Current high-performance specialty parts along with pre-model-year ’01 cars and parts may be most susceptible to corrosion.
