Please take action on this AMA alert. It is simple, and allows you to ADD your own comments.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the District 36 LAO submission to this on your behalf, I added in text about the destructive properties of\u00a0<\/strong>ethanol\u00a0to our fuels systems, especially non-Fuel Injected motorcycles, and the effects\u00a0<\/strong>on \u201co\u201d rings within our bikes. \u00a0<\/strong>I have also sent letters to Congressional Members based in Ca to support this legislation, <\/strong>and to sign on as co-sponsors to eliminate\u00a0ethanol\u00a0altogether\u00a0in our fuels.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now it’s your turn…..<\/strong><\/p>\n

PLEASE TAKE 2 MINUTES TO FILL OUT AND SEND TO BOTH CALIFORNIA SENATORS.
\n<\/strong>This is REALLY important, as the next step will be to attack CARB to do same.<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Remember, all AMA Members in you family can do the same thing, thus l<\/strong>etting our voices be heard. Comments from CA are very important!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you,\"LAO-logo-2-150\"

AMA supports bill to protect riders from unsafe fuel<\/strong>
\nContact your senators today!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take Action<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In an effort to prohibit the proliferation of E15, a gasoline formulation that contains up to 15 percent ethanol by volume, the American Motorcyclist Association supports U.S. Sens. Pat Toomey<\/a><\/span>(R-Pa.), Dianne Feinstein<\/a><\/span> (D-Calif.) and Jeff Flake\u2019s<\/a> (R-Ariz.) S. 577, the Corn Ethanol Mandate Elimination Act of 2015. The bipartisan bill would eliminate the corn ethanol mandate in the Renewable Fuel Standard.<\/p>\n

The AMA has repeatedly alerted government officials and federal lawmakers to the possible damage to motorcycle and all-terrain vehicle fuel systems and engines from the inadvertent use of E15 when the fuel becomes widely available.<\/p>\n

Passing S. 577 will protect the 22 million motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles currently in use on America\u2019s roads and trails from inadvertent misfueling. Riders depend on the safe operation of these vehicles.<\/p>\n

Preventing inadvertent misfuelings remains one of the AMA\u2019s top priorities because motorcycles and ATVs in use today are not designed to run on ethanol blends higher than 10 percent, and many older machines favored by vintage enthusiasts have problems with any ethanol in the fuel. Often, simply using fuel with blends of ethanol higher than 10 percent can void a manufacturer\u2019s warranty, potentially leaving riders stranded by the road or trail with thousands of dollars in repair costs.<\/p>\n

We need your help to pass S. 577. You can send a prewritten email to your senators immediately by following the \u201cTake Action\u201d option and entering your information. The AMA encourages riders to personalize their messages by drawing on their own riding experiences.<\/p>\n

Please join the AMA to help us fight for safe access to fuel. More members means more clout against our opponents, and your support will help the AMA fight for your rights \u2013 on the road, trail, racetrack, and in the halls of government. To join, go to\u00a0Join AMA<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n
