We dont need to feel guilty about our boats. MTBE has been found in water samples thoughout the cycle, including aquifers and mountain springs. It passes through all engines with the exhaust and combines with atmospheric moisture and settles down with the rain.

My safety instructor was with the NHMP. She said MTBE in spilled/wasted gas will evaporate with the gas and enters the cycle the same way as that from exhaust. Granted, she wasnt an atmospheric expert but I agree that boaters are not the pollution culprits we were being made out to be a few years ago.

Ethanol in fuel is fine as long as you dont have a tank or fuel lines that are degraded by it. It is advisable to install water seperating filters if you let this fuel sit for any length of time, especially if it is in a vented container.

And that's all I think I know about that.
