Is there certain brands of gas that don't have the ethenol mix people keep talking about that can harm the outboard?

We don't have any ethanol free gasoline as far as I can find.  I just keep a good water seperating fuel filter on my motor.

There are no brands in my area that are ethanol free however there are a few one of a kind stations that offer ethanol free gas. Word of mouth is the only advertising that I am aware of. A local fishing website keeps a list updated for this area.(East Tn fishing)............Al

In Alabama, Liberty stations have no ethenol.  Always a line there.  Duh! You would think some of other stations would notice.

Here in Michigan I know that at least two of the marinas on Lake St.Clair supply ethanol free gas.  You pay hefty prices cause your at the marina though.

In Nashville, the Kwik-Sak/Marathon stations  *advertise*  that they have ethanol free fuel.  With my boat, I get gas there when possible, with hopes that it actually is ethanol free.  I still add Stabil Marine ethanol formula though.

I don't get how refineries/manufacturers can sell ethanol free stuff-  isn't there some gov't mandate that controls fuel manufacturing?  How do these other guys get around it, or better yet, why aren't there more stations that offer ethanol free fuel?

The law doesn't mandate that fuels have an ethanol component.  Only that fuels can have no more than 10% ethanol.   Which, of course they want to push to 15%.

Gulf gas is ethanol free...atleast around here.

Get some some additive to keep handy in your boat and or tow vehicle.

Keep in mind that the only way to know that gas is ethanol free is to test it yourself. Just because it doesn't say it contains ethanol, doesn't mean its ethanol free.

I found ethanol free gas just over the Georgia line in Cedar Bluff, Alabama.  It's an hour drive unless I am going to Rome for some other reason like taking the wife to shop.  Then I drive a few more miles west and fill up my gas cans.  I have an older outboard and have grown reluctant to use gas with ethanl.  My engine seems to have lost power over the summer on the gas containing ethanol.  I also have fiberglass fuel tanks.  I called fuel dealers around the Cartersville-Acworth area and couldn't find anyone who knew of an ethanol free station anywhere.

Yep same here in central PA, Gulf is ethanol free.  What a difference in mileage in the road vehicles.

Here in virginia you have to go to the country to get it. It only comes in 89 octane too. When I used to put it in my tracker, it ran better and went a few mph faster also. Well worth the few extra cents per gallon imo.
