There is nothing, other than snake oils on the market, that stop phase separation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irv Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Lots of articles on it but we shall see? Warning Not to Use E15 Gasoline https://fuelandfriction.com/weekend-warrior/warning-not-to-use-e15-gasoline/ At that time, the U.S. Department of Energy reported that gasoline containing the allowed 15 per cent ethanol caused corrosion of metal parts, including carburetors, degradation of plastic and rubber components, harder starting, and reduced engine life in small engines. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-drive/culture/commentary/the-problem-with-ethanol-in-gasoline/article29103634/#:~:text=At that time%2C the U.S.,engine life in small engines.

It's all smoke and mirrors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bontz Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 No fucking way I'd run that shit in my sled ... even if I knew I was going to burn through all of it in one day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Rigid1 Posted April 29, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted April 29, 2022 4stroke turbo sled with an e85 tune will be a heck of a lot of fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Member SeaShark Posted April 29, 2022 Gold Member Share Posted April 29, 2022 F'n smoke and mirrors, lets blend more ethanol in to bring the price per gallon down, but don't tell people that it delivers less energy and your MPG's go down also so you have to up more often. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe_zrt Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) The fuel lines and system wouldn't take e85, I wouldn't mess with the 15 either. Would need a rich program too. Edited April 30, 2022 by joe_zrt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not greg b Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I got warranty. I will put it in the sled and hold it wide open. If it fails it can sit at the dealer again for the whole season until cat sends them parts to fix it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f7ben Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 A simple ethanol switch will be fine and handle the small increase in fueling needed. After that there are no issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irv Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 As a boater, you certainly should know that E15 is not approved for use in boat engines, and it should only be used in 2001 and newer cars and light trucks. Boat engines have only been designed to use fuel with up to 10 percent ethanol, known as E10.Aug 8, 2019 https://www.boatingmag.com/e15-gas-is-bad-for-boat-engines/#:~:text=As a boater%2C you certainly,percent ethanol%2C known as E10. Here’s a warning to boat owners from the marine industry: Beware E15 fuel. Motor fuel containing 15 percent ethanol (E15)—the use of which is prohibited in recreational boats and will void the warranty of marine engines including those from Mercury Marine and Yamaha Marine—is becoming more prevalent at service station pumps across the country, and boaters can expect to see even more E15 this coming season. https://www.soundingsonline.com/news/e15-approval-means-boaters-should-beware https://www.speedonthewater.com/mercury-marine-fighting-e15/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I'll be running non oxy I'm my PWC and ATV this summer. Making fuel from $8 corn is a whole new level of stupid. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
