Re: gas additives for outboards?
Do you have any clue what the difference is between E85 and other gasoline sold today? It's just a percentage rating of fuel vs. ethanol.
Unless it specifically says "No Ethanol" then there is going to be some ethanol in it, if you are going to be naive enough to run E85 in a motor not listed as suitable for E85 or containing a "Flex Fuel" disclaimer, then you deserve to have issues with the motor.
What you are trying to do is back up a claim that you made based on manufacturers claims, they are very misleading and you bought into it. What they failed to tell you is that ethanol in large percentages can have adverse effects, but I don't know of many people that run E85 in their boat unless it's rated for it.
I guess I better plan on buying a new motor now that this breakthrough in science has happened, as my motor has been run on ethanol fuel since they started selling it. I'm sure that it must be totally dry inside and is ready to explode.
