Hello All,

Back in the hunt for a solution to the ethanol problem in small 4 stroke
outboards.  I prepared my new 2008 Yamaha 20 hp 4 stroke last week for the
summer, and when I went to start it I had no problem at all.  I did winterize
the motor as per instructed from Yamaha, and I did use ethanol gas in it last
year.  With all I have heard about the problems other boaters are having with
their ding motors I figured I just dodged the bullet for not, but need to take
other actions to prevent the problems others are experiencing.  My questions
to the list is can I use ethanol free 91 octane gas in the above ob ?

Thanks in advance for all help,

Ken Tucknott
