Non-Ethanol Gas

Nowsker · January 31, 2014, 07:08:54 PM

Does anyone know where to find non-ethanol gas in central Florida?? I am in Tampa but travel to Kissimmee,ect so places within a few hours from Tampa might work. I had some work done on one of my boats (an older Nitro) and the mechanic said I shouldn't be using treatments, only non-ethanol gas. Any input on that would be appreciated as well:) Thanks!

No prob. I'm not sure how often it's updated but... Good place to start.

I found one site and every one of the stations I called no longer carried. These look like they are pretty current. I downloaded the app for my iphone as well:)

IMO it depends on what treatments you were using. In my experience Stabil Marine did not do a good job for me. I ended up with a blue-green gummieness in my carbs that caused every thing to stick. Also has issues with all the fuel lines going bad.

After I replaced the lines and cleaned out the carbs I switched to using Star*Tron. Haven't had a single problem since and that has been over two years. I use the normal 10% ethanol gas and I have a 19996 Evinrude.

^^ I use startron as well

But I also buy eth. Gas from good name brand stations. I only Put chevron or Exxon etc... In my boat.

And what's strange is the mech who rebuilt my uncles older Yamaha twice, told him to QUIT running non-eth gas, and run only 87 from chevron or Exxon or other big name stations with detergent in their gas.
