Cat:

This whole ethenal gas has me baffled to say the least. As I recently heard all the major oil company's are now producing gas with ethanol (for Alabama distribution) do not know if it is true or not. I know Texaco and Exxon do as they have signs on their pumps. But not Chevron or BP, so do not know if they have blended fuels or not, but am going to ask next time i fill up the car..

My question is in the Mastercraft 350 chevy and the pontoon Volvo I/O 135 and the Sea Doos (2 stroke) then the 40HP 2 stroke outboard I have always run 93 octane, feel safer than sorry (just my opinion).

But this whole ethanol stuff has me concerned, any issue with ethanol and if so any safeguards to combat this whole ethanol and water mixture issue or just using ethanol in marine engines to begin with?? Or any other suggestions would be appreciated not only by myself, but most folks I would think. As I really want to safeguard against any and all potential ethanol issues.
