Subject: boat owners' ethanol blues





Location: Athens, Ohio
Anyone here subscribe to the Wall Street Journal?
There's an article in there this week about boat owners railing against ethanol fuels ruining their engines. Mostly coastal guys.
The article also states that not only will ethanol suck moisture from the air into vented tanks, causing loss of power, it will also leach contaminants from plastic gas tanks.
Good photo of an engine valve 'ruined by ethanol'.

I tried to access the article and re-print it here, but I'm not a subscriber with that priv.
If anyone can, please share it. thanks, m
