Gas difference ?

I either run gas shock or sta-bil ethanol treatment. Take a look on line to things that have happened to gas in boats with ethanol. It is cheap insurance and still cheaper than the marina gas. The wal mart in port clinton had plenty of the stabil as I bought multiple a few weeks ago for the year.

Yes I brought this up. Ask any marine repair shop. They will tell you the repairs due to ethanol in gas. The Sta-bil ethanol treatment is cheap insurnace and still way cheaper than marine fuel. Those who do not use it are taking an unnecessary chance.

This issue depends on how long you keep the gas in your boat. If you are using the gas daily, or even weekly there won't be a problem. If you keep the gas in your boat and store it for months then yes it can create some problems.

I filled up then took a 2 1/2 week break before making another run. Thats all it took for the fuel to drawl moisture. Engine was missing bad before a healthy dose of dry gas finally took effect. Sta-bil will def be aboard for my next trip.
