Haven't read up enough on thie ethanol issue but it sounds like it may be worth refueling at marina with ethanol free gas even if it costs more?

Cool Ethanol Question

I know this is probably going to sound stupid, but how do you tell if the gas has ethanol in it? At all of the stations I check all over the pumps looking for some kind of sign if the gas has ethanol, and only found one station that had a little yellow sticker on one of the pumps that said "may contain up to % ethanol additive" I have not seen this label on any other pumps.....If I ask the attendant inside, they have no clue what I'm talking about...What's ehtanol?....We only have gas..........
Is it just in my area or is it like this in other areas??


Maybe I'll make this a new post......

Rabbit, they pretty much all have it. In SC they are required by law to post a sign on the pump. In NC, not so. I used to think I could get e free gas in NC before going to the beach until I learned about the law and asked around. It sucks but the good news is there are stations out there who have e free gas. You just have to find them.

HI guys,

Dont post much here but I am a regular lurker, I have a 1980 Formula 20 ft Cuddy with a 470 I/O, New floors, Stringers, Bulkheads and Fuel Tank, so I can relate to the V-20, and for the first time in my life I also had some E-10 problems. Check out the link below for some interesting info on E-10.
Thanks,
Butch
