    Question E-15

    What do we all do if the EPA allows E-15 to be dispensed in pumps labeled as E-10 (as is being proposed). I purchase ethanol free 90% of the time, but sometimes it's not convenient. Does the use E-15 void a SHO warranty?

    I think they tell you not to run E-15 in the engine period. So E-15 will ruin a lot of engines. Not just outboards. The EPA as left wing as it could possibly get in the future would have to phase E-15 in if they were going to do away with E-10. The pumps would also more than likely have to be labeled E-15 so the customer knows that it what they are putting in their vehicle etc. To big of a liability for that to happen in my opinion.

    I'm with you on that being my only problem with him. That's why I asked the question. E-15 in E-10 labeled pumps is not good.

    Ain't going to happen. If they're selling E-15, it would be labeled E-15. Even a rag-tag, ambulance chasing lawyer would have a field day with that. Just a little politics being played. Nothing more.

    Agreed. With all the motors that would be ruined if they ran E-15 in them, no way would the Oil Companies do this. Even if Trump tweeted he would be ok with them selling E-15. I worked most of my career for Marathon Oil Company, one of the largest producers of gasoline in the country. They have a very robust quality control department that tests and retests their gasoline. So if they sold E-15 gasoline, they would make sure the customer new what they were buying.
