An alternative that I use: biodiesel.


What about the hassles of growth? Bio in a car is one thing, you're
using the fuel up pretty quickly. But in a boat it'll sit there a lot
longer.


I haven't noticed any growth, but we've only had a problem once in 15
or so seasons, most of them 100% petro.

Thinking and guessing a bit, I wouldn't be surprised if growth would be
less: I have never noticed any algae in cooking vegetable oils kept
around for a long while.
