I really hope that people do some of their own research on this and not just take what one person claims as the truth. I see 300+ outboards a year. I have seen first hand issues that ethanol can cause. Ethanol is corrosive and attracts water, I don't care how that is spun, neither is a good thing. Yes, your components maybe E10 compatible, but that doesn't mean that it is good for them.
Yep...I bet you have.... you are seeing the effects of what the E10 blend does to CLEAN the entire fuel system out...THAT is what you are dealing with along with a huge lack of maintenance and I would best most because of letting fuel sit unstabilized in their fuel systems. This isn't rocket science.... Use your engine, maintain it properly, and regardless of what fuel you use, it will run extremely well for a long long long time...
Claim all you want about how bad E10 is..., but unless YOU do your research of the science behind all of this...ACTUAL scientific studies...you will find differently. The oil companies WANT you to buy pure fuel...follow that too...the amount of propaganda out there is amazing doing everything they can to get people to think how bad E10 is... A 10% loss in fuel usage across a nation is a HUGE chunk of money to the oil companies.
