GAS/ETHANOL BLEND IN OUTBOARDS
Posted: June 25th, 2007, 4:30 pm
Has anyone had any problems running 10% ethanol gas in their outboads?
Me and a friend were headed out of KEaton Saturday morning and his engine slung a rod. He is checking around trying to decide if he should repair or replace and has several mechanics ask him if he was running gas with ethanol. I googled "ethanol in outboard engines" and several articles came up dicussing the problem with the ethanol. This has me a little worried due to the fact that a lot of stations are selling gas now with up to 10% ethnaol blended in.
