It is interesting that different folks have different experiences with ethanol gas.
Neil is in SoCal while Joe is in Maryland. I think Dr. Neptune was in a southern climate with his A4?
Could it be that the southern boats are used more consistently year round than the northern boats which I suspect get less use in winter?
Also boats in northern areas spend more time lightly used during periods where there are large temp swings between day and night, leading to more opportunities for gas to absorb water?
Just speculating but it would be interesting to see if there is a correlation between boat location (north versus south) and ethanol gas issues.
