Hazards of Gasoline with Ethanol
I have a female friend who owns a boat and reported that her
service department told her what I would consider to be an exaggerated tale about new gasoline /ethanol blends which can cause an engine not to start or die while in service. She has a outboard. I said I was not aware of any issues, and had seen nothing major reported in the press. I said I had an I/O with a Chevy V6 and would not be expecting any more difficulties than would be the case with my car. She then asked if it could be just an issue with outboards. I haven't asked my marina guy about this yet. I did a little Net research and couldn't find much except something about a possible reaction with fiberglass fuel tanks. Can someone clear the air on this issue? She seemed quite concerned. (I'm not.) Many thanks for your help! Frank |
