*Don't know about the pros and cons of ethenol but I have learned (the hard way) that running an outboard--- two or four stroke-- out of fuel at the end of every period of use--- say a cruise or fishing trip--- REALLY helps.* Left to its own devices in a carburetor and fuel system, gasoline today will gum up stuff in pretty short order.* Stabilizers help extend the fuel's longevity but apparently not nearly as long as they used to.
