Paul-Unfortunately, it's all true and we in New York seem to have it at it's worst. My B-31 has been converted to diesel, but my B-20 as well as several B-31's, B-25's and B-20's on the east end of Long Island have been dealing with it. Tank changes and diesel conversions have been the only solutions we've heard of as of this moment. Seems the stuff gets by the finest filters and gums up the works when your engines cool down. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but with the President encouraging a greater use of ethanol, I don't see it getting better. Non-ethanol laced marine fuel would be an answer, but as I understand it, that's not in the cards. Walter
