Re: Needed: 2.5L, 200 EFI
What evidence, other than mythology, do you have that fuel "destroyed" your engine. Why has it not destroyed the thousands of other engines that have been using it for years?
I think you need to look for the real reason your engine is "destroyed".
Well, it's pretty easy to determine when the fuel is full of water, the fuel filter (which was changed recently) is full of small particles and evidence of fuel that is breaking down, all the fuel lines being new, and prior to the fuel lines being installed, the tank was cleaned / checked prior to being re-fueled.
Guess the proper answer is the #6 piston is fried "due to water" and /or ethanol levels higher than what's advertised on the pumps. (Just like the Gasoline that's mixed in Diesel Fuel, which is not advertised on the fuel pumps)
JB, I may be new to outboard engines, but I've been building 500+ hp NO2 injected street/ strip Ford and Chevy Big Blocks for over 25 yrs. These engines will definitely let you know it when they are fed bad fuel. It's not hard to determine what causes most engine failures. The fuel blends in MO are a lot different than in TX, hence why my cousins F150 drops 4-5 mpg on fuel purchased in MO vs TX.
