Re: Ethanol vs premium

[jeff-register]

I try to use ethanol free gasoline but if I have to use the bad gas I run it out of the fuel system by running the motor while on the trailer while the fuel line disconnected, before taking it home. I run at high idle & when it starts to run out I will pull the choke & have it get as much as I can get out & letting it die on it’s own. I did this every time at the ramp before bad gas. It would always pump up before putting it back in the water while leaving the motor down. The motor will flood if tilted as the floats are not level & the gas in the carb will dump down into the engine & flood it out. My motors always start very easy doing this actions before removing the boat running the fuel out. I have never used any stabilizer in my fuels but I never let it sit in my lines after use. Guess I’m lucky so far. I didn’t know prem gas ran cooler but I don’t have that problem as all my motors are from the 50’s & have no T-Stat. Good to know though, never know when I might need that data!
