I spoke to a tech at Cobalt Boats regarding ethanol in fuel and was told that Merc and Volvo do not recommend using ethanol blended fuels in their engines. This includes recent models. Although, the engine manufacturers feel that a 10% blend would not cause major problems. They strongly recommend against using the E85 blended fuel which some new cars are designed to accept.

The tech also said that Cobalt never used fiberglass gas tanks in any of their boats.
