[quote SBennett]Dude,
If you truly believe ethanol fuel is not bad for your outboard, quit adding your precious Startron in with it and then come back on here in 6 months and let's talk.
Deal or no deal?[/quote][font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]Dude,[/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]I ran my 2005 Mercury 75 Optimax for the first seven years on nothing but ethanol. Stored it in the winter months with a full tank of fuel treated with Sta-Bil. I never added anything during actual use for fishing until three years ago after talking with Lees Narine in Hyrum who recommended the Startron as a good all around maintenance function for the entire fuel system. Problems with the motor have always been zero, zip, nada.[/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]
[/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]After doing some extensive research on Startron, included detractors, I agreed with Lees Marine and started using the product all the time.[/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]I didn't use anything but ethanol fuel in any small engine equipment (lawn mowers, weed whackers, snow blowers, leaf blowers, etc.) until about 4 years ago when I started adding Seafoam to all my gas containers every time I fill them so that I don't have to ever worry about long term storage of the equipment or the fuel.[/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]All y'all can believe what you want to about ethanol. Based on my own experience, I ain't buying it. Mercury told me when I bought the engine in 2005 that ethanol was NOT a problem in their engines and after 11 years of nothing but ethanol and no problems (with and without additives), I have to say they knew what they were talking about.[/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]
[/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]I will NOT discuss the political aspects of ethanol on this forum. I'm done with this discussion. Please feel free to use whatever fuel products suit your needs and desires. I'm going fishing.[/#800000][/font]
