I love that test Mister Tubs! It’s done with ethanol fuel! Imagine that! I run ethanol fuel in everything I own. Thanks for posting it again.

There are three kinds of people in this world. Ones that make things happen, ones that watch things happen and ones that wonder… what happened!
I prefer ethanol as well. There is a 100 ways water can get into the gas. This is just one. With ethanol water gets suspended in the fuel and just passes through the motor. The picture at the end shows where the water can end up with plain fuel. Get enough in a float bowl and you’ll be paddling. Every method l have tried to clean out tanks always leaves a little gunk in the seam. The way I use my motors, using fuel having ethanol, it’s all gone when I get home at the end of summer. Not a recomondation, just my experience. Video link – https://youtu.be/aahPEZ5DQ08?si=W1iQmx4W-sAWJfMR
A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
