How much truth should this be? I got a service guy telling me that now the Govt mandates that Ethanol is added to gasoline. The guy was telling me at certain percentage is too much for the outboard engines that causes the head/piston to fail. What do you think? Most of the issues I've heard about were related to leaking seals and water absorption. There are also problems with fiberglass fuel tanks. |
