Ethanol in boat fuel

by Fish Arkansas on Jun.23, 2009, under Uncategorized

Recently we have become aware through some of our friends and fellow anglers that the use of fuel with ethanol added to power your boat could be costly. Gary S. told Arkansas Tournament Fishing Pro Staffer Calvin Ralls that he had been unaware of the problems that it could cause until his boat motor quit while fishing a tournament on Lake Dardanelle a few weeks ago. Gary was completely unaware of what the problem might be until his mechanic handed him a $400.00 plus bill and told him to try to avoid using the ethanol fuel because it damages the fuel lines and the entire fuel system has to be rebuilt and /or replaced. The mechanic went on to say that using mid-grade gasoline can help because it has less ethanol in it, and also adding Stabil to each tank will help prevent the possibility of damage to the fuel system components caused by using ethanol fuel. However, the best prevention is keeping a sharp eye out for gas stations that have NO ETHANOL in the gas that they sell. There are a few still around, and most of the time , they are the “fishing friendly” stations that are going to offer this rare commodity. Be sure if you find a station that offers gas with NO ETHANOL to come back here and add it to this blog to let other anglers kow what stations to fill up at!!
