Re: high test gas without Ethanol - Will it run hotter ?
My experience with 10% eth gas in my 2 stroke 15 and 25 hp outboards. After the gas sits for 4 or more weeks one will not start the other smokes. If I use non eth gas both start and run fine with gas that is months old. Even if I use stabil the eth gas does not start as well. So I stopped using 10 eth gas in my 2 stroke outboards. I ran 10% eth for a few years before switching back and I can see an improvement in starting and the smoke.
I live in a dry climate and store my boats inside. I also ran 10eth in my I/O for several years with no problems but used stabil. I have since switched back to non eth fuel in my I/O due to fear of issues that you hear about caused by moisture and eth fuel.
