    Ethanol 15. USA TODAY ARTICLE

    http://www.usatoday.com/money/...N.htm

    I guess boats and certains things will not be able to use it. But what if they marked the tank wrong and you get a full tank of this crap. Not good. Only a matter of time before you start seeing this stuff everywhere. May or not happen in your area but a good read I thought. Better pay close attention what you are putting in your tank.

    Thanks for the good reading. The E.P.A has got it's hands into everything these days. I read an article that they were trying to outlaw lead fishing tackle. Here it is:

    You're exactly right. Additionally.... there's no way to safely "assume" that pump markings are accurately reflecting the fuel COMING OUT of the pump, even prior to the E-15 approval. We've seen upwards of 20% ethanol in fuels that were supposed to have NONE....

    IMHO.... the only way you can have any reasonable assurance of what you're purchasing is to test the fuel YOURSELF. It's actually pretty simple to do... see the following post for information:
