Re: Running with Ethanol fuel
 

The bad thing about this new gas is it starts to lose it octain after 14 days, and even with stabil in the gas I wonder how good the gas will be??

I have no idea what I have for has right now?? But I guess about 12 gals, I am going to put stabil in the tank and go out once or twice to check out the new motor on my boat, I will carry 6 gal of unmixed gas so if I run out I can mix and add.
Other wise I willl throw it in my truck when I get back in.

Going to be as empty as I can!!

the old gas lost octane in same time frame unless it was in 1000 gallon quanty.That was for anything higher than 86 Octane.

This Seaworthy article also said that regular gas and the E-10 have the same self life of about one year. This should be more than enough for a winter lay up. They still reccomend using a stabilizer.

Well if ture then this is great news!!

Because in the begining of all this they said that it started to lose power 14 days later??

I am just going to do as I always do, fog stabil change lower oil and put a blanket on it till spring!!

Re: Running with Ethanol fuel
 

I am having lunch right now, we have the new motor off his boat hanging in the air, we will have it installed on mine in a hour!! Might even get it all wired today also??

Boat U.S. Seaworthy Magizine is sujesting you fill the tank to 95 % with Stybil. Then in the spring add an octane booster then top off the tank after you put the booster in. You should be ready to go after that.

Empty, full, empty , full. It seems to change daily as to how to store for the winter.
I think the only shore fire method is to by a inclosure and fish for cod right to spring!

Re: Running with Ethanol fuel
 

I like that Idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am going to do what I always have done!! What ever gas is in it will get stabil, and in the spring will top off and fish!!

Re: Running with Ethanol fuel
 

I ran my tank down pretty far and then added a stabilzer.
I think there may be ten gallons in my 45 tank.
Anyway, I only left a little in so that any crud will not harden.
In the spring, I plan on cleaning out the tank,
pump out the old gas along with the crud.
