non-ethanol gas
Rode out to the Eagle Mart by the Coast Guard base in Elizabeth City and bought 25.75 gallons of 93 octane non-ethanol gas yesterday. It was 4.34 a gallon. I'm gonna drain out all of the gas left in my tanks before filling with non-ethanol. I haven't had any trouble with my 170 I/O yet but dont want to later on either. The last time I took it out it had a little hesitation when throttling up, thinking it may be the old 10% ethanol gas. Anybody else changed over to non-ethanol gas and have you seen any difference in performance? Since I live close to Va. I looked there and found non- ethanol100 octane at the Suffolk Airport. Might have to get me some of that!

I run non ethanol in everything except daily driven gas vehicles. Boats, lawn equipment, motor home, etc. It runs about 3.99 a gallon near me, and a lot of stations have started carrying it. Def a good idea.
I had an old runabout several years ago that started running like crap with it, mixed a few 6 gallon cans of non ethanol with an additive and was able to clear it up. Had a chainsaw and leaf blower that I ran the hell out of regularly that started running like crap and had to go through the carbs, that's when I switched over to non ethanol exclusively. Here's a site that will tell you who has it. http://wellcraftv20.com/community/sh...ad.php?t=14635

Unfortunately, there is not a single registered E0 gas station in NJ. You would think with all the boating that is done here they would sell it at marinas, etc. But I cannot find any that do. They may be out there, but they are hidden from public view. This may be the result of irresponsible legislation, something New Jersey is well noted for.

No.... that could never happen. I seriously don't know how people in NJ, NY, California, and Illinois live there.
