Ethanol

It would be good that we could have our legislators amend this ethanol foolishness by having ethanol free gasoline sold here. The damage and repair costs from this act is putting a lot of boating and related businesses in harms way.

Wondering if the marina gas at ports along Lake Ontario provide ethanol free gas?

Reason I ask is because Smith Boys and German Bros. marinas on Canandaigua Lake sell ethanol free gas. Last Sunday at Smith Boys it was 4.65 a gallon.

Boat dealers and lawncare dealers are swamped with repairs for the gasoline problems. Anyone with an open to the atmosphere gasoline tank is in trouble. The video may be staged as the evaporation accelerated by the fan and the open container cools the container excessively due to the high humidity atmosphere that is present on a waterfront location causing a lot of condensation but it is what is happening especially an colder nights. Metal gasoline tanks are subject to corrosion when empty and that corrosion particles will plug up your filters. Plastic tanks with minimal gasoline are best for storage as the expansion is minimized to allow condensation of atmosheric water. You must use an ethanol treatment additive or you will see a lot of downtime when you use your boat on your weekend off from work.
