WLBT News on Ethanol Fuel in Boat Engines

[monsterrain1000]

Boat engines and small gas engines make up LESS than 1% of all gasoline comsumption in the United States. Its time these manufacturers step up their technology. I get better MPG running E30 than unleaded.

Ethanol and other AgraFuels have been identified as a Crime Against Humanity in a report to the UN. By converting cropland from food production to fuel production, the cost of food is skyrocketing. There is now famine in parts of the world due to the resulting high cost of grains such as corn, driven higher from the added demand of the fuel industry. Agra fuels also result in increased atmospheric CO2 levels as more and more forests are leveled to make way for ethanol production.

Forget E-10 give me E-85 or higher and any engine with some tuning will out perform the exact same engine on gasoline ( Alcohol octane is around 105 regular unlead 87). It will burn cleaner last longer and run cooler. The cold start issue is a joke how many boaters go out in 50 degree weather anyway ? E-10 is a just enough for people to hate it mix.

ya and most schools that train people to repair autos,boats atvs ect,ect also have mechanics that graduate as the famous part replacer and which one would you be mister expert. BTW gas turns to water too, it was one of the things expressed in school, Brazil has used it since the 70s but this must be a illusion.

because america doesn't make engines that prefer anything other than fossil fuels. the first cars ever made ran on ethanol and had no problems BECAUSE THEY WERE DESIGNED FOR IT. the problem isnt the fuel, its the engines. besides, anyone who cares about their outboard wouldn't let it set for long periods with any type of fuel in it.
