Southwest Florida boaters say ethanol is harming engines
http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2008/nov ... artner=RSS

Ethanol is alcohol, and one characteristic of alcohol is that it attracts water, and therefore pulls moisture into vented fuel tanks in boats. If the E10 fuel sits long enough, the water and ethanol separate from the gas, and can cause poor engine performance and damage the fuel system.

A second and equally damaging trait of alcohol for boats is that it is a solvent. The ethanol loosens fuel varnish build-up and rust in the fuel tank and that gunk gets carried into the fuel system, potentially clogging and damaging parts, such as carburetors and fuel injectors.

..Two lawsuits, in California and Florida, have been filed to date against oil manufacturers that produce E10 fuel, on the basis the companies knew of potential harm to boat engines and failed to warn the public.

My only problem that it isn't the BIG OIL companies fault... but you have to start somewhere. It's these Washington liberal mandates that somehow think they are doing me a favor by introducing this junk into my gas tank. I guess lawsuits are the only thing that can change this around.

What these green thinkers are really doing is making our engines preform terrible, SUV's getting less MPG, Lawnmowers, ATVs, Motorcycles burping more raw unspent fumes into the atmosphere, and causing MORE automotive based engines to be ran that usual (troubleshooting/repaired), purchased at stores, or more parts created by automotive companies to supply the demand.

This E10 stuff is terrible!! Support only stations that don't have the E10 Sticker on the pump. Your vehicle and wallet will thank you with more mpg.

Until a viable tested alternative option REALLY exists.. let's not support failed methods that do more harm than good.

It's bad on any small engine.

Try ANY size engine with a carburetor and not fuel injected.

Thanks for the info.
We shouldn't be so acceptable to these alternatives without a long term study. It's like these new medicines that has all types of side effects.

You're welcome.. But..

Let's keep life saving medical research and Global Warming Hysteria separated ok?

E10 fuel BAD,
Life Sustaining Medical Research GOOD.
