Arco gasoline?

[MicroBoat]

Did a search but turned up nothing. Just wondering if it's OK to burn this in your outboard as it contains 10% ethenol.

Not sure about OB's and ethenol but<br />I don't think you have any choice between brands. They all contain ethenol in your neck o the woods. I think they did away with that other additive M something or other. It was carcinogenic.<br /><br />You have to cross the river to get gas without ethenol. Just don't buy Arco in Vancouver either. They get their gas out of Portland and it has ethenol all year long. If nothing else it will give you rotten mileage.

stabil won't affect alcohol's ability to absorb moisture from condesation.<br /><br />At the end of the season, just come on up and give Vancouver some of your cash.

I miss MTBE.<br /> was good for business .<br />ethanol is almost as good. seems the water gets all the way to the carb or VST and settles out .<br />most modern marine fuel rubber parts are some what more tolerant of alchohol anyway.
