Another fuel option- I noticed a lot of auto parts stores and hardware stores sell TruFuel, which is stabilized ethanol free gasoline in 1 liter bottles, for about $6-7 a liter. That's expensive, but for me that's about 6 months of regular use as I only use my motor for docking. They sell both 2-stroke pre-mix and 4-stroke (plain gasoline) bottles, and advertise that it is stable for two years after opening the bottle. Even with a 2-stroke outboard, you would want to buy the 4-stroke bottle and mix in TC-W3 yourself, because the 2-stroke is mixed with oil designed for a 2-stroke weed eater, and will carbon up a cold running water cooled outboard- plus it doesn't biodegrade as well as TC-W3.
