So at 10% ethanol everything is wonderful for a boat. Even better than pure gas!
But at 15% ethanol it may cause damage and is Federally prohibited for a boat.
That last 5% is a killer...
OK, one total misconception at a time. There is absolutely no such thing at the pumps as 'pure gas'.
Look in into the politics regarding e15 carefully, who lobbied against it and why and who lobbied for it and why. As mentioned a few times, specifically follow the money. Then look at WHY that sticker is on the pump and why it changes seasonally, what it actually means to your automobile and small engine and why it's currently law. Don't take any one source for gospel, look at the science and reality, and wonder why it's OK for an automobile engine, 4 stroke, designed for e10 but not a 4 stroke engine on some other piece of machinery. |
