Ethanol 101- What happens when you use Ethanol in your boats motor

Ethanol was used as a fuel long before gasoline or diesel ever was. And Guess what? Water could safely be present in the fuel and the engine would run fine. Then gasoline came around and now water suddenly becomes a problem. Go figure. But hey, Rockefeller succeeded when he started the prohibition which was successful in helping him sell gasoline when before hand no one wanted it.

In short. What happens when you use ethanol in your boat motor, or car engine, or truck engine, or quad engine, or motorcycle engine, or tractor engine, or snowmobile engine, or PWC engine, or lawn mower engine, or generator engine?

Nothing.

You sir are talking out of your butt and truly spew ignorance. Good job. :(

Funny that you perpetuate these anti-ethanol myths while standing next to a Mercury motor. Mercury states on its own website "The fuel-system components of Mercury engines will withstand up to 10 percent ethanol in gasoline." Mercury has been a leading supporter of renewable fuel development over the years. Most of your episodes are great but this old fashioned sponsorship of the fossil fuel industry is awkward and mis-informed.
