You Will be forced to use 15% ethanol
 
Obamas EPA has ruled that refiners can be forced to produce 15%
ethanol fuel. Of course, this will destroy many existing engines,
Just try to find ethanol free fuel. Even at marinas it is not often
available. Not only will this destroy engines, it will kill people
whose boat fuel systems leak due to the ethanol, another case of WTF
for Obama.

He's just whacked out because Obama is black.

I never had any fuel-related problems with my Merc or Yamaha engines.
Frogwatch does not maintain his boats properly, so one can imagine how
poorly he maintains his outboard. He also apparently has no external
fuel filter on his boat, and probably doesn't change the little one
inside his outboard.

Not boats but a leaf blower and a lawn mowere were ruined by the junk.
I've had to have fuel system repaired on my Zero turn because if it.
I had to have the fulel system on daughters pu and my pu service ecause
of it. My Saturn had all the injectors replaced because of it and was
about to have them replaced again from the junk when we replaced the
car. It was always serviced and maintained by the Dealer.
It's no fun spending your time and a lot of money because of ethanol.

I know you try to make people here think you are the brightest person
alive, but maybe you should do some reading. Ethanol in fact IS harmful.
Try your hand at google.

Obama or not, I started a thread about this sometime ago and this does
concern me about the use of the new 15% blend ethanol in two cycle
engines. I have a sea horse 85 hp v-4 and a 115 hp v-4 as a spare. for
my pontoon boat, but that's beside the point at this venture. What I'm
concerned about is there are other uses for 2 cycle engines and in the
winter I use a variety of chainsaws. My local stations still sell the
straight petroleum and though watered down ( 87 octane) they do well
with the oil/fuel mixture. But even the best blends of 2 cycle oil
don't mix well with the ethanol, thus you can ruin a chainsaw or weed-
eater or older outboard rather quickly.

If the 15% blend does become standard, I'm not sure how the 2 stroke
companies will be dealing with it, but I guess we'll find out. the 4
cycle marine engines shouldn't have any problem with it though.

It is true that most manufacturers limit ethanol to 10% if you like
your warranty.



If the amount goes to 15%, the manufacturers will make the change, too.
They cannot demand you use gasoline that isn't generally available for
contemporary engines.
