But boats are an indulgence that has no place in the Communist State this administration has in mind. You dont need to worry about how this affects your outboard because you are evil for owning a boat to begin with you capitalist pig...


This is a problem in aviation right now as well... Companies want to stop producing Avgas whish is 100 octane Leaded fuel. And at present it costs twice what car gas does so some people are doing paperwork that legally allows them to run automotive fuel (93 octane unleaded) in their aircraft. This is fine for the engine in the case of low compression naturally aspirated aircraft like Cessna 172's... but the bigger planes cannot run less because of detonation...

I know a guy who runs "MoGas" (aviation name for car gas) in his Cessna 150... The ethanol in the gasoline has eaten every single seal in teh fuel system. The gas caps leak, leaving big brown streaks on teh wings. The fuel vent leaks, allowing a constant drip of fuel from the wing. And the carburetor has issues every year at teh annual inspection. And water in the system is already an issue for aircraft, having ethanol in the picture isnt helping much.


This is why someone needs to develop a turbo-diesel outboard... run it on bio-fuel, or kerosene, or jet fuel, or whatever else you can find...
