E10 (Read 4318 times)

Stimulus Package Austin Boater Offline Austin Boater Posts: 222	E10 Apr 4^th, 2011 at 6:37pm I think I already know the answer, but are there any marinas selling gas on Travis that are not Ethanol infused? So the new E15 is marine exempt...very good news. But E10 is lousy gas in a marine environment and you need to be really careful with it.

Sea Foam is too, but it is more effective with existing problems in the fuel system. It's pricey too, but it's worth it in my opinion.

If it really is better I may have to look into it. I blew all four headgaskets on my Volvos two years ago after I had just bought the boat due to old/bad gas and am now paranoid about fuel issues. E10 is a big worry.
