My feeling is  if the EPA would take the corn out of our gasoline we would be so much better off. I know of several boat owners who have had nothing but problems with the current gasoline. If you want to see a joke go buy a new gas can, way to many parts and it causes more problems then they cure.

I am a total Sea Foam fan.  I use it in my marine engines/lawn mowers/small engines.  I don't put it in my cars, but everything else runs with Sea Foam.

The new ethanol gasoline is not healthy for many marine engines and hoses.  I believe the newest generation of marine engines are made for ethanol gasoline.  But I don't understand why it's taken so long.

I fill my tank and add seafoam at the end of the season when I winterize my boat. I only buy Ethanol free fuel when I fill up.
