Default Ethanol free gas

The following website allows you to find stations selling ethanol free gas. Ethanol has probably cost more in engine damage and contaminated fuel that was disposed of than it has saved. Ethanol does not belong in boats because boats have vented fuel systems that allow them to absorb water vapor in the ethanol. Ethanol can dissolve fuel lines and o-rings and older fuel tanks causing fires and killing people on boats.

better upgrade your old stuff to newer alcohol resistant stuff.
