Oregon Non-Ethanol (E10) Fuel List
E10 or Ethanol gas causes accelerated carb, injector and fuel system fouling. Its “storage” life is significantly shorter and water absorption is much greater than real gasoline.
Gel formation is now a fairly common problem for E10 users (see picture at right).
Why can cars handle E10 and not my boat? Just compare how often you fill up your car vs your boat. Due to the rapid refueling rate typical for a car, the moisture content can not accumulate as much as with your boat, which in some cases get fueled up once a year or less.
Avoid the hassles and expenses, use exclusively PREMIUM-NON-Ethanol gasoline for your boat, be it 2-stroke, 4-stroke, outboard or inboard. Currently by law, aviation and marine gasoline is exempted from E10. For your convenience we have attached a list of retailers who sell PREMIUM-NON-Ethanol gasoline. If you know of an additional outlet in the state, let us know and we’ll add it.
