Arnold, I am not sure where you're located, but here in Oregon, many of the marinas have fuel that does not have ethanol. I paid about $4.75 a gallon for it last week. My CDory holds 50 gallons, so that can be expensive with a power boat, but shouldn't be too bad with a smaller tank. Steve On Aug 17, 2008, at 10:39 AM, Arnold Sharpe wrote:
I presently have a 6 year old 4hp Yamaha on my 17. Yesterday I was reading the manual and it warned "NOT TO USE FUEL WITH MORE THAN 8% ETHANOL". As you all know, normal auto fuel contains at least 10% ethanol. While I have not experienced problems, I am wondering if I am damaging my engine. I don't know of anyplace to get 100% petro fuel.
Any experience, advice or opinions?
