Default bad fuel?

if most of the alcohol in the fuel evaporates, will the result be an engine that will not idle, and suddenly begins to run VERY rich, no matter how much you lean it out? i haven't experienced this before today, but it has to be the only explanation for the erratic behavior of 2 vehilces that ran fine yesterday, and won't run today. both cars were running fuel out of the same can. thanks

Default RE: bad fuel?

Try some new fuel :P..

Yes, thats atleast the problem I experience when fuel is off. The richness is from the higher oil content now found in the fuel, the nitro content will also increase.
