Got a 2000 ProV 210 w/ 225 Yamaha. Should I be consern about running 10% Ethanol? I'm guessing I've ran it before because it getting hard to find stations that don't have Ethanol.
Thanks!

I run a mix of Stabil Ethanol Treatment and Seafoam just to be safe.
I have seen an increase of water in my fuel filters lately running ethanol gas...even with Stabil Ethanol treatment and Ring Free every fill up. I am going to get regular gas from now on since we have it here. Also I was told that ethanol doesn't detonate like gas so it hurts your performance and efficiency as well. Just my 2 cents.
If you run your boat every day, ethanol is not too big a deal. Alcohol (ethanol essentially) absorbs water and loosens any foreign matter in your fuel tank. For these reasons, I always run an ethanol treatment product. I have been told not to mix non Ethanol gas with gas that contains ethanol??? IF you run non ethanol gas, run this as empty as possible before adding ethanol gas to your tank.
Anyways, performance and mileage does decrease with ethanol products.
