TEST OF E-15

Here I go again talking about this E-15 gas that has proved disastrous for Outboards. The EPA has never said that E-15 was meant for maine engines,

in fact, it is a violation of Federal Law to use it for this purpose.

Test  were conducted in June by Mercury Marine for the U.S. Department of energy. tow of the three outboard run of E-15 in Merc’s standard 300 hour,

full throttle endurance test failed to complete the run and showed severe

internal damage and according to David Hilbert, thermodynamic development engineer for Mercury.

A 300-hop Verado experienced three damaged exhaust valves near the end of the E-15 run. Hilbert said what likely cause the damage was high operating temps.

The 200 hp did not complete the test also due to bearing failure, they also tried running a 200 hp motor on gas that did not have Ethanol in it and did not see any problems.

Martin Peters of Yamaha concurs that Ethanol 10 will work in the outboard and if for some reason you do get a tank of E-15 run it out and do not put it back in

your boat again, accident or on purpose.

They even came up with a bottom line stating that Ethanol 10 is acceptable as a fuel for all modern outboard motors and E-15 IS NOT.

Now they are trying to create  or testing butanol, a biofuel that will work with E-15

and be safe for anglers engines.

STOP I have a better idea is to drop the E-15, what ever happen to the backbone in our government, it is a limp noodle and this is a prime example of how they look down on the people and do not care. If your motor breaks down I bet they will not assist you in getting it fixed/replaced.

Then they say look for a gas station that does not have Ethanol in their gas,

DUH…..they have already stated that it will be soon in all stations very soon.

THey have also stated that it is still more expensive to make, but they did state

that will help bring down the price of gas.

Anglers wake up and smell the coffee sure it will help drive down the price of gas, because everyone’s gas engines have burnt up and are no longer running.

What ever happen to the folks that would stand up when something has been rubbed in their face showing this will not be good for our country…to stop it instead of letting the Epa pass this Stupid E-15…..

Get someone at Epa put it in black and white that they will cover any damage to your motor if cause by E-15…. Don’t hold your breath.
