Title: Increase of Ethanol in Gas to 15% - Fight it.
Post by: FJ Flyer on April 29, 2009, 09:33:32 AM
Ethanol manufacturers are trying to get the EPA to increase the allowable content of ethanol in gasoline to 15% from 10%.  Not good for older engines not designed for E15 fuel.  Older boat motors are already gumming up from 10% ethanol due to seal degrading and dissolving.

Info is below, as well as a link to submit comments to the EPA via the formal docket.
