Pure gas

[Skoot]

I found this cool site that lists gas stations (Nation Wide) that have Non-Ethanol fuel. Figured you guys would like to know. I have 3 in my area.  All the ones in my area are Sunoco brand gas and are privately owned. (so the hours do vary M-F, 9-6 for the most part)

See link here http://pure-gas.org/

Im going to run pure gas from now on.  Just siphoned the last 10 gallons out my tank and put it in my truck. Im gonna go fill up this week with 89.  The prices are about .20-.25 cents higher depending on the grade.  I found one place that's  close by, good prices, carries all 3 grades and open on Saturday  87 $2.89 -89 $2.99 -93 $3.10.  So it will cost me $9.00 more to fill my 45gal tank.  I'll take it to relieve the headaches associated with Ethanol

That's cool if one can find a reliable source.  Just remember that mixing the two is the worst thing you can do.

Yea, I hear ya, but Im willing to go a little out of my way to get Non-ethanol fuel. Also, I burn very little fuel with my rig. on average 6-8 gallons will last me all day.  Thats 5 days worth of fuel for me.

The place I found is McMullen Oil Company, There open M-F 5am-5pm and Sat 7am-12 and is about 7 miles from my house.  Its a neat place, went by there yesterday. It does not have any gas or price signs by the street and when you get there it looks like you're driving into a gravel parking lot with nothing in it but then you see the pumps. No food, drinks, ets, just Fuel. Middle pump is ethanol free, all others are diesel. They even carry Bio-diesel fuels.

I don't blame you man.  It's sad when we have to worry about getting stranded every time we take the boat out.

T & T here in Sarasota will have recreational fuel by this weekend - finally - I talked to the owner 2 years ago, I think, about putting in some since he already had recreational diesel and he poo poo'd it then. Now we have another source

I thought I had told you about that website Scott.  McMullen is right around the corner from my office.  They don't always have the best prices but they are the only place that sells more than one grade of nonethanol.  Non-ethanol is the only thing I burn in my rigs.  It's well worth the extra cost in my book.   No amount of additives will stop phase separation with all the humidity we have here in FL.  My 245 holds 141 gallons..  I don't keep it full but usually there is at least 50 gallons in there at any one time....  I can't afford to have to toss out 50 gallons of bad fuel.

It is a hard decision to choose. Fortunately in my case, I was able to start from scratch so I've stuck with the Big E. The Yamaha seems to consume it fairly well and I have not experienced failures with the older systems it has. With a new tank and fuel conveyance system I chose the ethanol. We are just a tiny market up here and trailering the boat to different spots along the "Forgotten Coast" just leaves too much to chance. As JJ stated, I don't wish to mix, at least not in the boat.

that's funny, I was just surfing, and didnt pay attention to the date of Skoot's original post, when he listed those prices I almost started to pack my Chit and head south with 55 gal drums..
