Ethanol In Gas Sold At Marinas?

Ethanol becomes a problem when you don't use your boat for prolonged periods of time.

If you aren't going to be using the boat on a regular basis my advice is to keep the tank completely full and add a water separator if your boat doesn't already have one.

Star-tron does appear to help deal with the separation issues.

Or, if you store it over the winter and the tank is not topped off.

BTW - Wolfeboro Corinthian Yacht Club uses only non MBTE and non ethonol fuel - mid grade.
