In Response To: Re: Corn Gas Again (cwj)

This is the stuff we've had for two yrs now. This will be the 3rd summer. I could not get my RPM up to snuff two yrs ago so I had the carbs rebuilt and when I picked them up, I asked the mechanic what he thought. He said I wasn't using the boat enough, that they were "dirty". Nobody knew! I also thought the TACHS were off. Nobody knew what was going on. So last season, I would do WOT every week of the summer. Boat goes like hell now and every thing seems to be find. However, when draining the filters at the tank, there is no water coming out. Just little grains of I don't know what. And very little.

And speaking to my gas dock manager, he said the same as Charlie-- that the ethanol was being put in the gas delivery trucks to the marina/gas stations because the oil companies don't want the ethanol going thru their pipes. Now this gas dock says that their gas is epecially for marine use. When I asked, he laughed. I didn't think it was funny. And I like funny.

So that today's report from here-- Long Island, N.Y.
