Hotspot, making any progress?

 

[grouperjim]

don't know if i have been making any progress but i have been making the effort. the manager of my neighborhood gas station who was recently forced to take E-10 fuel from his distributor said that he was told trailer boaters will have to go to a marina for straight gas. bummer. the law says that straight gas WILL be made available for AIRPLANES and BOATS. i guess it won't be convenient if i have to allow for an extra hour to make it over to a marina for gas (and pay higher prices).

I have posted my message to them, I know a lot of people have had trouble with ethanol. I overdo the Startron deal by putting more than I am supposed to everytime I fill up, I hope this don't screw anything up.

It's stated right on the bottle.
You can't over-treat with StarTron.

When I treat, I err on the side of more rather than less.

[LOST TIME]

I sent in an email,great post I just sold my old boat and purchased a new 21 footer with 150 four stroke. My old boat had an oil inject 2 stroke and I was concerned about the effects of ethanol. my fathers run about had a 1993 115 yammie on it and he never has a problem till E-10 came out. The first year the carbs clogged up twice, Next spring engine lost compression in all cylinders. Mechanic said e-10 keeps the cylinders too clean and was killing 2 stokes all over.
