Default Re: Running with Ethanol fuel

I was ethanol fouled about three weeks ago, motor just started running rough, couldn't get WOT, seemed like h20 in the fuel. Turns out I had a deteriorated o-ring and some diaphragm thing in the fuel/vro pump. Anyway all good now. Since the intro of ethanol in N.Y., [10%] ,I did notice a reddish/brownish crud when I would change the h20 sep. and the other filter up on the motor. I live reasonably close to about 5 or 6 marinas/ outboard service so I would ask each mech. or salesperson what [if any] product can help w/ this ethanol problem and most everybody said that STARTRON ENZYME FUEL TREATMENT worked the best. I check and change my filters OFTEN and since the STARTRON additive my fuel and filters are clear as a bell. First dose....hit it hard, 1-1 1/2oz. for every 8 gallons of gas, after that, 1 oz. per 16 gallons of gas. Do it every time you fuel up. I also read some good reports on the STARTRON over at THT and Iboats and Noreast.com.....good luck
