I haven't had any ethanol-related fuel problems *yet* on either outboard boat, but I keep running into tales of boaters who have. I'm not doing anything special to avoid ethanol problems, aside from pouring some mystery stuff into the tank when I buy gas, but I know lots of guys who don't do that, either, and aren't having problems. So...have you had any ethanol-related problems? If so, what? How did you resolve them? From BoatU.S. Do You Have A Fiberglass Tank? If your boat has a fiberglass tank built before 1991, don't use ethanol. As reported in the January 2006 edition of BoatU.S. Seaworthy, these older tanks have clogged fuel as a result of ethanol's effect on fiberglass, resulting in sludge formed by a chemical reaction the the material.
