Default Ethanol-free fuel

For the U.S. and Canada riders. Here's a link to ethanol-free fuel suppliers possibly in your locale. This site panned out for me. I'll run a couple of tankfulls and post results

Ethanol-free gas stations in the U.S. and Canada

My research has also turned up the fact that most marina fuel docks offer ethanol free gas for boaters

I've heard of it and the places listed in my area actually had e-gas. It's a user based site so it may not be accurate. Places that were pure may have had a tanker of e-gas show up after the posting. The best way to tell is smell as you are pumping from the station listed. I hope others have better luck than me.

The other problem is that if you fill up at a pure gas station and travel away, you will need to fill up with e-gas. My jets arrived today for my re-jetting to deal with this crap gas.

I have also heard that boat docks carry pure gas but I don't know if you have to port it by can from the dock.

I, myself am giving up. I'm re-jetting. I can't take it anymore.

use the Startron fuel stabilizer in the blue bottle. This stuff works great, ive been running it in my 2stroke merc since 2002 and my yfz450 since i bought it in 2008, also use it in the 929rr. youll never have fuel problems again and your motor will run smooth and clean

I talked to someone who said a dash of 2-stroke oil helps, but they didn't give me the recipe

I recently learned of Startron and since then I have seen it at boat shops and a motorcycle shop. I have bought it a couple of times, but I havent used it enough to give a review. Wal Mart was carrying it in their boating section but not sure if they still do.

CRC Phaseguard 4 is what us propeller heads use for boat ethanol problems with tanks
and fuel lines - 1/2 oz per tank (5 gals) in riding season
1 oz / tank when laying the bike up in winter

Was talking with my neighbor yesterday, he uses Startron in his boat and dumps a few cap fulls in his lawnmower.

Any ill effects if I try this Startron in conjunction with the Seafoam I already use?

No idea - maybe mix some gas - seafoam - startron in a jar and see if they mix good
or separate !
