If anyone has been forced to run ethanol in their performance boat I'd like to know how they are making out.

We run it every week. No issues. After doing a ton of research and talking to sterling and trying it on dyno it's safe. Actually you can make more power with it but less efficient. People will have to get over the voodoo. I don't like it mind you total bull shiyat to burn our fuel but it is what it is.

I would love to see a class action lawsuit against the guberment for all the damages it's causing.

Tell that to all the guys with Skaters that had to have their tanks replaced...

In my opinion, it's not as much the performance side as it is the damage the ethanol content does to the fuel system components. It also seems to cause more havoc on carb'd motors that fuel injected...

Ever seen what it'll do to fuel line not rated for Ethanol???

Well not sure glass tanks and gas mix anyway. And again many builders have no issue with ethanol. Again I hate that it's there but it is.

glass tanks in my hatteras held up 30 years until ethanol. what i hate is that it takes the heat from .85 gallons of gas to distill 1 gallon of corn likker. as long as you are drinking it ok. but when you mix it with gasoline it tastes kinda funny...

stabilize your gas everytime, reduces the ability for moisture to get to the ethanol. the ethanol is used to raise the octane rating, mixes with moisture and falls to bottom of tank(instant low octane fuel). then the water ethanol starts eating aluminum components, the white residue will make it thru 10micron filters and clog carbs and injectors. the old hoses if black rubber will breakdown and clog same components. the hoses designed for gasohol, 20 years ago, soften and collapse, instead of breakdown. most of our engine problems are fuel related(engine dies or lack of power). the ethaonl seems to dry out fuel injector, lucas top end lube or small amount of TCWII(pint to 20gals) seems to help.
