Today I had to visit my local marine supply store (small, independently owned and operated, not a chain) and while I was there I asked the woman (with decades of boating experience) about ethanol and winterizing boats.
Since all we have in my neck of the woods is 10% Ethanol gasoline...well to say I am somewhat concerned about water mixing with the gasoline is an understatement. (I have an older boat that I keep down here, but she has an alumminum inboard tank)
She told me that with 10% Ethanol Gasoline, you either treat your boat's tank with non-alcohol/non-methanol based stabilizer and leave it full, or you have to completely empty your boat's tank for the winter.
Anyone else have similar or conflicting advice?
