Re: Kwik Fill is ethanol free!
I haven't been able to attribute any problems directly to ethanol, but I hear enough crappy stuff about it that I'm interested if there's stations that sell straight gas. Though I have no intentions of driving 30 miles just to get it.
I did find it interesting that when getting gas at a local Wawa station, the 10% ethanol sign actually had a note specifically to boaters to ask for more info inside before filling with the 10% mix. I'd never seen an explicit notice before.
Aren't most boat engines supposed to be built with ethanol tolerant materials now? Whats the biggest concern with ethanol outside of water absorption? I installed a water/fuel separator prior to vacation and thought it was a cheap enough solution to that problem ($6/yr in 10 micron filters & $40 for the mount & hardware). Speaking of which, I haven't found a lick of water in my gas this year after pulling it out of winterization. Only time I found water was before putting the ball check on the vent hose a year or 2 ago.
