The few pennies difference in the price of gas is peanuts, corrosive peanuts, compared to the cost of rebuilding an outboard motor carburator that has been eaten away by the E-15 gas. Real gas is available at a few places, and well worth looking for, and the inconvenience of hauling a can of it to your boat. Steve M-15 # 335 P. S. if you're looking for real gas in the South Puget Sound area, I will get the name and location and directions for the one place where I found it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Buzzi" <thomaspbuzzi@gmail.com> To: "For and about Montgomery Sailboats" <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Saturday, March 15, 2014 10:58 AM Subject: Re: M_Boats: E15 gasoline
I have not personally noticed it, saw a news article about it. Wanted to let those on the websites I use know about it since it is a few pennies a gallon cheaper. Most all the world's car manufacturers who sold cars BEFORE 2013 will void any warranties due to this type of damage. It also eats gaskets as well as fuel lines. I guess you can google it for more information.

Where are you seeing E15? Having crisscrossed the country repeatedly over the last 2 years I've only seen one E15 pump and it was distinctly marked and separate from all the other standard E10 gas we all use.

I agree, the E-15 gas I was buying corroded the carburator on my M-15 kicker motor to the point it would not run, not a good situation on a tidal river with the current going out. The repair bill was spendy. Found one pump in town, at a farm supply store, that sells real regular gas, worth the effort to look around and drive over to buy a can of it. Steve M-15 # 335

Do not use this in your outboard motors, or any motors, engines or anything else that uses regular gas. Highly corrosive, will void your car's warranty.
