Default Ethanol...A Problem on Your Boat?

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.
