E-10 Considerations Pertaining to Winter Layup

This morning's press release from Boat US: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Press Contact: Scott Croft, 703-461-2864, Date: October 23, 2006 WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT E-10 ETHANOL FUEL AND WINTER BOAT LAYUP This spring and with little prior notice, recreational boaters in most parts of the country were introduced to gasoline containing higher concentrations of ethanol, a corn-based additive that replaced a known carcinogen, MTBE. The new fuel, dubbed "E-10" for its 10% ethanol content, unfortunately has the ability to attract greater amounts of water and "phase separate," or form two separate solutions in the gas tank, usually over a long period of time. Once this happens, the engine won't run and internal damage could occur. Gotta love those diesels! When you find diesels that have the same efficiency as my E-TECs, let me know. :) -- -------------- "What the hell's the deal with this newsgroup... is there a computer terminal in the day room of some looney bin somewhere?"
