Ethanol in fuel

Hi Guys,

New boatie here.

I am aware of the advice of not using fuel for the boat that contains any ethanol, as it can be damaging to fibreglass boats and the outboard.

Just wondering if any unleaded fuel in WA contains any ethanol in it ( other than those fuels that clearly state it ).

What unleaded do you use?

Thanks for the advice,

Michael.

I've just had alook on Fuelwatch website and apparently no ethanol in unleaded fuels in WA currently, so answered my own question !

Looks like I'll continue using standard RON 91 unleaded for now.....

Couple of points of interest

A gas station in South Perth started supling "No Name" fuel, both cars began to run very bad. Told only to use well known brands of fuel.

Recently started using the better 97 Octane fuel, have been getting better performance and better fuel economy, in that my fuel bill is the same when I fill up, as when i was using ULP.
