I agree some cranking is a non issue, tried to explain it wont damage a starter doing some 4-5 second cranks.

I also have no intention of adding a pusher pump to any of my cars, but any electric pump will fix or improve the "hard" starting some have whether its from evap or drain back. If someone doesnt like dealing with cranking everytime they start their car after sitting for a few days or a week, then a pusher/elect pump is an option, lots of guys on here & out there with classic cars use them for one reason or another.

You missed the point on the jar test. It was stated early on that the ethanol fuel evaporates entirely on it's own and people claiming their bowls would be completely dry in as little as a half hour, blaming the fuel of course as no one wants to admit they actually have a problem. That's entirely not true at all. This fuel on it's own has such a slow evaporation rate, as I clearly demonstrated, that there is no way the fuel just leaves the bowl from sitting for a 1/2 hour, or even several hours. There has to be some accelerant involved. Either guys are heating the carbs way too much, or you have some sort of leak somewhere. I've demonstrated with my own vehicles this fuel is a non issue.

It's easy to sit here and type on the key board and say what about this or that. Now everyone here is more than welcome to perform their own tests. I've done my part. In fact I encourage anyone to post up your results. I'm sure many here would love to see what anyone comes up with. Put up or shut up as they say
