Sorry if this is a duplication, have not read all the messages on this site on Ethanol. Our next load of gas will have 10-15% Ethanol in it.
Within the marine industry they are saying replace the fiberglass tanks 1985 and older. They are also saying water in the gas/ethanol is not good. Ethanol with alcohol will absorb the water and when it runs through your fuel system you will have problems. Plus will eat away at rubber etc.
I know this is'nt new news, just did'nt know it was coming to MA. so quick, this will have an effect on my starting the 06 boating season!
