Default Re: Grades of Gas and Ethanol Question

Don't know if Texas is same as Alabama but having to run non-ethanol in my boat, I do know that it is possible to get Ethanol in higher Octane levels....
A few other known facts:
-- Octane will go down in gas at the rate of about 2-3 a month so use fresh gas. Racing fuel is usually 106-109 Octane and considered "old" after a month.
-- The higher Octane fuels also have more cleaning agents, thus burn better.
-- Fuel Injector cleaner in your tank once a month, will keep any gum build up from happening in your jets.

I would say shop around for different name brand gas. I only know of two places in north Alabama that are Ethanol free. They make a blue Sta-fuel for Ethanol that the boat mech lives by.

Also found another link that may help ya out...
