Well hopefully in the northwest we may soon get more than a few successive
days of warm weather so we can enjoy taking our boats out.

Haven't de-winterized the boat as yet but will probably do it this weekend..
But what is now concerning me is my fuel I put in the tank last fall.

Somewhere awhile back from this group I remember the practice of filling the
tank to minimize condensation as part of winterization. *what concerns me
now is the use of ethanol in our gas. *In a conversation I had with my
mechanic today he told me that over time the ethanol will seperate from gas.

Should this be a concern?

Not necessarily. Even if the gas has sat for quite a while, it can
still be used. My nighbor had 93 dodge pickup that sat for about 8 or
nine months, he decided to sell it. they put a battery in it and it
starter promptly and ran good. It sat for 3/4 of a year with about a
half tank of 89.5 gasahol.

i wouldn't worry about you fuel especially if before you topped the
tank you put stabilizer in the tank
