So I just bought a new boat, and am very much a newbie. The biggest
shock is being told I must stay away from reformulated gas with
ethanol. Yikes. Is that possible to do in Washington State without
paying an extra $1/gallon using Marina gas? By using it, am I really
destroying the engine, or is it more-- "just check the fuel lines and
system more often" kinda thing? Are there land based gas station
brands that don't use ethanol? I read a previous thread that
mentioned that this is not a problem with engines after '87, but my
'04 manual clearly states to avoid using fuel mixed with Ethanol.
