WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT E-10 ETHANOL FUEL
AND WINTER BOAT LAYUP
This spring and with little prior notice, recreational boaters in most
parts of the country were introduced to gasoline containing higher
concentrations of ethanol, a corn-based additive that replaced a known
carcinogen, MTBE. The new fuel, dubbed "E-10" for its 10% ethanol
content, unfortunately has the ability to attract greater amounts of
water and "phase separate," or form two separate solutions in the gas
tank, usually over a long period of time. Once this happens, the engine
won't run and internal damage could occur.
Gotta love those diesels!
When you find diesels that have the same efficiency as my E-TECs, let
me know. :)
