TinMan , I'm very happy to hear that . This winter when / if I have time , I'm going to replace my fuel lines . It might be a pain but it can't cost that much .

Default IN BOAT US MAGAZINERe: Running with Ethanol fuel

I'VE JUST READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT THIS FUEL LAST NIGTH IN BOATUS MAGAZINE AND I'M WORRIED.IS THIS NEW MIX MARKET AT THE PUMP? HOW DO YOU KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE PUMPING? AS TO THE FILTERS, I RUN MY ENGINE WITH TWO WATER SEPARATORS IN LINE AND SINCE I BUY THE CARTRIDGES CHEAP ($2.99 A PIECE, 20 PC MIN.) I REPLACE ONE EVERY TWO TIMES I GO OUT AND (AS IF I SPENT ONE MORE GALLON OF GAS) AND THAT WAY KEEP THE SH.....T OUT OF THE CARB.

Here in Mass they have a sticker teling you that you are using 10% right on the pump.

I have been reading that we may have to drain the tank.

I have also heard that the content could be up to 15%
and I thought I heard one of my co workers say that
a station was tested in our area and the content was 25%+ :-/

Same here Hammer, what a crappy summer. First month it poured daily with thunderstorms looming constantly. Then weeks of dry hot humid crap, thought I was in Fla. in July. Actually I heard they were cooler there. Now this crap to close out the summer :-[
