Ethanol, boats an interesting mix
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
With E-10 gasoline (10 percent ethanol) available virtually everywhere in metro Atlanta, most boat owners are filling up their tanks with the blended fuel.
That’ll be especially true next weekend. The July 4 weekend will be one of the busiest of the season on area lakes.
E-10 is either good or bad for boat engines, depending on who you ask, but it’s clear that word is getting out on what to do to prevent problems (such as clogged fuel lines, problems with older boats with fiberglass fuel tanks).
That doesn’t mean the problems have disappeared.
No matter how you feel about the subject, E-10 is here to stay.
What’s your story on E-10?
