If there are a couple things that the crew from Driven Racing Oil understand intimately it is what the addition of ethanol to pump gas fuels has done to the typical hot rodder’s carb, fuel lines, pumps, and everything else it touches. Let’s be honest here, unless you have built your car to run on E85, ethanol is doing you no favors in your fuel. If you own anything with a small engine you have likely already experienced the effects of ethanol eating up carb jets and bowls, gumming up passages, and generally making your life miserable when trying to get your gear fired up in the spring, right?
If that’s what it does to a tiny engine on your weed whacker, what is the greater effect of ethanol on your street rod or hot rod engine? We’re not trying to throw scare tactics at you here and neither are the guys at Driven but there is a LOT of valuable information to be had out there so you can protect your car and spread the word to your buddies who may be dealing with the same issues. Thankfully the Driven team is not content to just sit at the office and yell out the window. They are taking their act on the road and hosting a big seminar at the 2015 NSRA Street Rod Nationals in Louisville where you can sit down for free and learn about the specifics effects of ethanol in your fuel and how to minimize the negative impact on your classic car or truck.
Lake Speed Jr will be hosting and we can tell you that this guy is PASSIONATE on the topic and gives a great delivery of the information you want and need t know. He’ll also be answering your questions as well. Take advantage of this opportunity. Knowledge is power and this is free!
Driven Racing Oil™ Will Host Seminar On Protecting Against Ethanol Corrosion & Wear At 2015 NSRA Street Rod Nationals
Huntersville, NC – One of the hottest subjects in the street rod community over the last several years has been the usage of Ethanol in pump gas. Driven Racing Oil™ will address this topic at the 2015 NSRA Street Rod Nationals with a seminar entitled, “Protecting your Street Rod Against the Dangers of Ethanol Corrosion and Wear.”
The seminar will take place from 10 a.m. – 11 a.m. on Friday, August 7, in Rooms B101 and B102 of the South Wing Conference Center at the Kentucky Exposition Center. The program will be hosted by Driven’s Lake Speed Jr. and is one of eight seminars slated for the weekend by companies from all corners of the performance aftermarket. Over 10,000 street rods, customs, muscle cars and more descend on Louisville each August for the prestigious Street Rod Nationals. With so many enthusiasts in one spot, Driven sees the show as the perfect opportunity to alert folks to the dangers of both Ethanol corrosion and its reduction on the ability of Zinc in oil to prevent wear. Speed will cover the topics of why this corrosion and wear occurs, why it is problematic, and the benefits of using Driven Carb Defender™ and other lubricants.

Is there going to be a video posted of the seminar on the effects of ethynol for those of us who can’t make it ?
Sounds like a gimmick to sell their products to me. I have never seen any of these so called issues in any of my cars, mowers, small engines period. I live in the corn belt and have been making sure I purchase ethanol mixes for years. Some of my cars I mix a little E85 with the regular pump gas to boost the octane. I leave fuel sitting in the carbs and fuel tanks of all my mowers, weedwhackers, and cars all winter long and they all start up in the spring without any issues and run all year long.
