Re: Alcohol additive to gasoline
No offense taken BigPimpin. I simply was concerned about accumulating additional h20 in my tank and having problems at sea. By the way, you are correct in saying it would take years for ethanol to pull water out of the air, but my concern is simpler. Existing water in gas tanks will cause the ethanol to phase separate, meaning you will be running low octane fuel and not know it. Also water commonly exists in tanks at gas stations, you could be buying gas that has already phase separated. Low octane in high RPM outboards is a concern.
