Trouble Maker Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Is there some befinity to runing gas with no ethanol? How is this garuanteed? e.g. does it say it somewhere on the pump and if it does is actually unlawful for them to run e5/10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmonda Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Any boaters on here will note that many of these are Fuel docks. They won't/can't fill your car there. Most marine engines require low/no ethanol. That is why you see this. Also, you will find the prices quite a bit higher than your local filling station. I also notice that it is incomplete. None of my usual spots on lake Erie are listed and they are all no-ethanol including my home marina's Shell fuel dock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Marine engines don't require non-ethanol gas, with the exclusion of those older boats that might be running certain rubber parts in the fuel system or have fiberglass fuel tanks. The concern in a marine environment is that some boats are left on the water for extended periods of time, and ethanol loves to absorb water. I put E10 gas in my last boat (an 89) for 11 years without a single fuel system issue ever. Same pump (other than cleaning it), same fuel lines, tank, etc. I rebuilt the carb, but that was because it was cheap and I put a new motor in (oil pump let go on old one, again not fuel related). Even the Indmar owner's manual for my Malibu states Ethanol added gasoline is okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99FLHRCI Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 The other benefit is for cars or lawn equipment that are stored over the winter. Anymore even a little bit of gas left in the tank will absorb water and it is hell getting them cleaned out and started in the spring.
