They should mark the pumps with 10% Contamination would be more like it as alcohols are very destructive.

Thanks. I have to run 91 but put 93 in it since that is what Goose Bay sells and gives me a little room margin of error in case the Stabil doesn't do it's job. As far as I know there aren't any 91/93 non-ethonal places around any more?
100LL- wish I knew if it would help me out..

Tracy/Wrinkle,
It is NOT a Nor-tech Nation. I can't believe you would so shamelessly hi-jack this thread with such misinformation.
It's a Nor-tech WORLD.
Sorry about Tracy trying to steal your Skater Nation thing, guys. Please continue on with your fuel tank discussion.Double R Performance

Wayne runs 100LL in his 28 Skater because of the tank issue. Last time he got some it was $3.99 a gallon in Calif. MD at the airport. Its the only place that will sell it to us. Bryans Rd airport wont sell it to us. Also bought the 89 non-ethanol and mixed it with 110 Cam 2 to raise the octane to 92 (his Promax's only need 91 also). It a pain, I hope that Va. will get their act together and offer a Marine fuel w/o ethanol, and make it 91 octane. Got a snowballs chance in hell of MD doing it. I here a couple of state are currently doing that and calling it Off Road Fuel, its a little more exspensive, but no ethanol problem.

Hey guys in the fiberglass section i have a thread titled the Old Don Q Rum which is a 32 A and it shows pics of the gas tanks being repaired along with a host of other things that were done to the boat from a new deck , custom hatch , ext ext. I would like to mention that in doing the gas tank repairs it takes a long list of materials to do the job that i purchase from Skater / Douglas marine and that list is Witch's Brew ( resin ) At Prime part A & B , Cobalt , Styrene , Wax Additive , MEK & fabric along with making my own Baffles and Lids .

Here we have non-ethanol fuel 87 to 93 only at private distributors the big guys (Exxon, Mobil...) all have ethanol.
I never go to CITGO due to political reasons...
It' a Skater Nation...
