Yea as soon as I have to or can I will be replacing the line to the motor with a gray hose just for that reason! all the rest will be fine in the boat away from the sun.

As for your question about the water, I sure its not going to be good for it!!

My fix for this is, I have 3 tanks, I am going to fill and then rotate run each tank dry everytime then refill, this way I know I am getting eveything out of it.
In winter I will run tanks empty each trip and not refill them to get the least gas I can in one tank.

Keep extra filters with you and you should be fine!!

I have heard so much about this E10 gas that I really don't know what to believe. I did see a test on fiberglass tanks and yes it does break down the glass in the older boats. When I switched over to the E10 all I did was to drain my seperator very often and found *good amounts of water in it for the first two tanks. I would even drain it while out in the boat to keep it running good. After about two tanks of doing this I have had no other issues and when I drain my seperator I find very little water in my gas. When I started using the E10 the water I was getting out was probably already in the tank and the E10 was just cleaning it out. I also keep an eye on my glass filter and it is still very clean. With all these stories I hear I wonder how many of them just blame the E10 when it was not even the real reason for the problem. I know that I would probably blame the E10 if right after switching over to it I had a problem.
