Found another article about Ethanol in fuel on a local canadian boating newsletter.

http://www.cbaontario.com/files/wate...spring2008.pdf


In a couple of more weeks my boat will be on water again. I hope everything is still fine with it. Last year it seemed to run fine and if ethanol was around then, then I didn't have problems.

However, if ethanol just started to show up over the winter months, then this summer would be kind of interesting. Because I really don't want to pay for marine gas at their docks.

Why did i just get this " I might as well boat while I can " feeling ..

    I think one of the best suggestions I've heard is to carry a spare fuel filter with you. I just ordered one to keep on my boat. Cheap insurance at $8.
