Location: Elk River, Minnesota | Hi again,
If it is crap gas, then why do we see so many cars running on it throughout the united states with very very little issue? Your outboard is really no different than your car engine.
Again, it goes to proper maintenance and care of your engine. Granted, an outboard can sit for times much longer than your car/truck, which is why it is recommended to stabilize the fuel if it will sit for longer periods. THAT should happen with ANY gas.
It should also be noted that buying gas at a dock may carry more potential of having more water that has gotten in due to a wetter environment to start out with, and that fuel may have a tendency to sit for longer periods of time because it is not used anywhere near as quickly as fuel from a filling station in town. Here again, it goes to proper maintenance...even by the marina. It begs a question of whether or not they are using the fuel quickly and are they filtering it as well before it goes into a boat.
The stuff is not crap...it works just fine.
