Default Re: Ethanol Question

As mentioned above not true here in NJ..... I know of no place where you can buy non ethanol fuel on the road. The premium grades still contain Ethanol. Some marinas used to carry it but not sure even they do anymore.

I do however know that in PA there are some places that do sell non ethanol fuel but it's only theiir premium grade.

Ethanol sucks..... You get worse fuel mileage, it does not store well, can screw up your fuel system and the alchol tends to absorb water which is really a big issue for boats.

Like Frank said... Best to use products like Stabil, especially if you know the fuel is going to be sitting for long peridos of time.... The other thing you can do with mowers, blowers, weed whackers etc is to drain the tank and run them dry before storing.

There is also a movement to increase the Ethanol % from 10 to 15... That will not only make matters worse.
