So I just read the new article posted to the site regarding the fact that 91% of boat owners want ethanol free gas.
I thought to myself, in my two boats I have had minimal problems. I have had zero problems in my Ranger. In my aluminum bat with a 1988 motor I had to replace the fuel lines and clean the carbs a couple of times over the past 10 years. Yet, I cannot definitively say that these were not due to some other problem. The gas lines were the original gas lines- rubber eventually wears out and was a quick $10.00 fix at the autoparts store. Problem solved.
I then thought, well I sure would save money on full additives as they won't be necessary and I use at every fill-up, year round. This is costly. But even if the fuel was ethanol free, I would still still use seafoam to clean the engine from the inside out and stabilizer to keep the fuel fresh. Thus, in my experience I am fortunate to say that I do not PERSONALLY see a need for ethanol free gas- for me.
Just wondering what the opposing school of thought is on this issue and everyone else's luck or lack thereof with ethanol.
