Gas station across from Black Water jacks? (SUNSET BEACH RESORT)

Since it was a stop for the Cig Run, did anyone fill up there ? They had 91octane. Shortly after filling up my intake valve broke in half and decided to have a party in my engine. I took some gas out, put in glass left outside for a few days , there`s a dark orange residue at the bottom of the glass and the gas smells more like laquer. I treated it with boostane but maybe not enough. My head guy says bad gas/ super high cylinder pressure (pre ignition) broke that valve. Pisses me off but I guess I should have ran when the gas chick said "oh wow we never get boats like this here" so who knows how long that 91octane been siting in them tanks. |
OMG that sucks so freaking bad.

That sucks. :(
I am a believer you can’t fix bad gas (your description of the smell is old gas - i deal with 2-4-6+ yr old gas alot) with any pour in anything. |
Yikes...that really sucks. And I can honestly say I've NEVER seen a valve break in HALF before!

Hard to believe bad gas damaged a valve like that unless all of the pistons show knock damage also, what does the knock sensor data show? That was probably a flawed valve IMO

I always worry about buying bad gas, especially at a marina. Hear horror stories about water in their fuel. What do the tops of the pistons look like? |

I agree with the above. If it detonated so bad to break a valve, there must be other damage as well.

Step one...drain ALL the gas from the boat. Step Two...make sure you do step one.
Marina gas is a crap shoot unless it is a high volume destination. |
Always fuel up at performance. It costs a little more than other places but I have never had an issue there and they run big power through that gas dock.
