Default Re: 10 Percent Ethanol

Good conversation on the 10% ethanol. My buddy is up to about $900 to $1000 in repairs on his Yamaha 225 due to gas "gumming up" his fuel pump....and possibly the injectors for even some more expenses. You can't say it was bad gas because there was nothing wrong with it when he bought it, however to me it's letting the boat sit and the gas going bad due to heat, condensation issues, etc. Using Startron, double dosage, and running the engine, not just an idle but at normal rpms on a regular basis seems to work fine for me. You just can't let them sit!!!
