Hi folks,
Up here in Massachusetts we are now having 10% Ethanol added to the gas. Gas stations added big stickers on the pump to "warn" us. That created a lot of commotions in the boating community and raised a lot of questions. So I called my marina and was told that because of Ethanol I should carry filters on the boat and change them often. I understand that Ethanol will "clean" you tank and engine and bring a lot of debris into the engine causing all sorts of clogs and creating issues. To avoid these problems you need good quality filters and change them often. I know that other states also have the 10% Ethanol requirement and was wondering what you were told to do.
Dick any input?
Thanks,
