Ethanol in gas

[Kokonuts]

Has anyone heard warnings about Ethonal in the gas doing damange to boat motors?

I wouldn't think it would be an issue.

Much of the gas we've been buying for years has been 5-10% ethanol, and other than little tiny stickers on the pumps I haven't heard much bad about it....and this includes limited use in my 2stroke outboard, 2stroke and 4stroke snowmobiles and dirtbikes, lawnmowers, and obviously car/truck.

Thanks for this link...I knew the typical 5-10% mixture wasn't harmful, but it's a bit shocking to realize some stations are actually pumping fuel with much more than that!
It makes more sense now why my 'rods will occasionally run so poorly after a fuel up.
