[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 137272, member: 55"] Ethanol has two major problems. First, it will eat the guts out of the whole fuel system on older boats (up until recently, boat designers had no clue of the need to make ethanol impervious fuel systems), allowing residue of these innards to clog stuff up, like Quack mentioned. Secondly, it has this inane ability to suck all sorts of water into the fuel system, as ethanol naturally attracts and absorbs water molecules in the air. Both of these make it bad news for fuel systems. Ah, the joys of reducing emissions. Thank you EPA :roll: . [/QUOTE]
