Ethanol in gasoline does not work well with small outboard engines, so I would like to find a source without it. Aviation gasoline might work, but I don’t want the lead either. Any ideas?
yes the ethanol makes your gas lines decompose & end up in your engine. Try putting the highest grade fuel in and add a stabilizer. when you put away your boat, top off the tank so that it does not have a lot of air space for evaporation.
Most marinas carry marine grade gasoline. I buy my gas at the gas station, and carry it in 5 gal. containers. You are right, you don’t want ethanol in cars or boats. Ethonol eats rubber, neoprene and fiberglass. It also absorbs moisture. I choose a brand that does not use ethonal. Most pumps indicate what % ethanol the station pumps.
