ethanol strikes again

I just spent $700 bucks changing all orings and gaskets in may carbed Johnson 250hp. I hope I do not need to do anything else. I have always used Stabil or Startron to correct the Ethanol problem.

I've used Stabil faithfully for years. It may have delayed the problem, but didn't stop it.

I buy ethanol-free gas at the marina I keep my boat at....so no worries except for the $4.55/gallon price!

My 1988 triple carbed Yami 225 runs great on that gas, I guess the 4.50/gallon is worth it.

I guess I'm going to be buying a 'fuel caddy' so I can get some fuel without ethanol in it. There isn't a station within 30 miles of me that has ethanol-free gas and I can't picture putting that many miles on my trailer just for the gas....Not to mention the extra gas I would be burning to get it.

Yikes,
I could buy another Ocean Pro for that. I hope our ,cough cough, esteemed reps don`t legislate my smoker to Central America.

Out west in we've had gas pretty much mandated at 5.7% ethanol for years. That legislation recently expired but it will be interesting to see if the gas barons opt to give us some "pure gas" or if they jack up the ethanol to the 10% seen in Chervons money grab. I read somewhere that you can get ethanol free gas from the refinery in Pittsburg or Antioch if you're willing to buy 8000 gallons... Whatcha say, Strick? Can you stash a few gallons in the barn?

I'm unaware of any for sale ethanol free gas in the San Diego area.
