To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks

It seems to me that one does not use ethanol blends in older engines that are not designed to use ethanol blends.

Yeah but politicians in the hip pocket of the Farm Lobby ( and ADM) have removed that option in big chunks of the country. ALL gas is sold with an ethanol blend.

I thought Marine fuel was ethanol free.

Never use ethanol in a carbureted motor if the carb float is made of foam instead of metal. That sucker will swell up like a toad till it sticks tight in the bowl.

Tough to do if that's all the marina sells. Guess you could truck in all your own fuel from auto stations, but what a pain in the boat.

I don't think it's the ethanol that is causing the problems - it's the low octane #'s. Couldn't they raise the octane and still use the ethanol?
