Re: Fuel Degradation Ethanol vs Non Ethanol vs Stabilizer
The fresh fuel has definitely made a difference. I had to change the filter again, and expect to have to a couple more times in the next few weeks. Getting a fuel truck seems unlikely, unfortunately.
I think i am going to still add some fuel stabilizer even though this guy said not to. We only use the boat once a week and that is a long time for the fuel to sit.
I am going to take his advice though and only add 25 gallons or so per tank at fill up.

Don't forget the three thirds rule for the minimum quantity you need; one third to get to your destination, one third to get back, and one third for reserve in case you run into undesirable conditions that might result in additional fuel use.Petemait wrote:Source of the post....
