Total request for non-ethanol "marine" fuel
http://mywebtimes.com/archives/ottaw....php?id=415267
i wish more stations offered non-blended fuel. If there was easier access for pure fossil fuel, I probably would have second thoughts about converting my pontoon over to a 4 cycle and ditching the v-4 Johnson. |

And I'll probably run it till it craters, then use up my spare 115 evinrude I have sitting int he back of my building. |

Older cars run fairly well on the un-leaded fuel available today even on the 15 % ethanol blend. .. But you don't have to have ethanol in every motor fuel. |

But you don't have to have ethanol in every motor fuel. i don't recall when ethanol became part of the gasoline that is sold everywhere, but none of the outboards I've owned dating back to the 1990's every had any fuel-related problems, even when 60 gallons of it sat in the boat over the winter. That list of outboards includes 90, 115 and 135 hp mercs, and 150 and 225 hp yamahas. Maybe it would be easier for you to buy a decent used outboard made in this century. -- Republicans are the Party of No: No Leaders / No Ideas / No Morals |

Unblended gas is available here at a 35 cent premium. I tried a tankfull in my car and my gas mileage went down, not up. Apparently the computer couldn't adapt. -- I'm the real Harry, and I post from a PC or a MAC, as virtually everyone knows.

The magnificent Boatless Harry Yes, and that's probably right. the cheap stuff works better in the computerized cars , but chain saws and other 2 cycle engines seem to last longer with the straight fossile fuel. Or at least thats my opinion. |
