Tom, I am in the process of selling my M-15 and of course the outboard engine goes with the boat when sold. I really would like to hear your comments on Ethanol in the gasoline that I have been using in my 2006 Nissan 3.5 hp 4 stroke outboard. Will my outboard be ruined? Where in California can I get pure gasoline? I have been going to the suppliers on the Sacramento River area for the fuel for my C-Dory 22 with two Hondas on the transom. I hope the suppliers were giving me accurate information when they told me that the fuel was "ethanol free"... ---Larry in Sacramento,Ca -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Thomas Howe Sent: Wednesday, April 16, 2014 3:56 PM To: 'For and about Montgomery Sailboats' Subject: Re: M_Boats: Aviation Fuel I don't mean to be bitchy, I enjoy British vehicles, I've owned a Triumph Spit6, a GT6 and Spitfire crossmating, I spend most Thursday with my Thursday Night Hovel Monkeys group working on motorcycles, including Nortons, Beezers, Triumphs, BMWs, LaVerdas, MotoGuzzis, and a broad variety of others. And I know that this is a common bond among members of this board. But it is about boats, not motor vehicles. I thought that the AvGas comments were relevant to the outboards that we all use, but the digression belongs elsewhere. Perhaps the britmoheads could have an off board e mail conversation, but have I said that I enjoy this mailing list for boat conversation? The motorstuff has a place, but it's not here. -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Rick Davies Sent: Wednesday, April 16, 2014 3:01 PM To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats Subject: Re: M_Boats: Aviation Fuel Who remembers Nortons?

Hey guys, those of us who have owned British Cars know that the reason the Brits drink warm beer is because of lucas refrigerators. But we wised up and bought Montgomery sailboats, built in the USA. Steve

I ran out of gas in my 1963 Triumph TR4 and the airport when there flying my 1950 Cessna 170. I put some 100 low lead aviation fuel in the car to get home. It smelled like a plane and ran fine but by the time I got home the gasket on the fuel bowl had swelled, warped, and allowed the gas to leak out profusely. This suggests to me that aviation gas is not always harmless.
