Everywhere in town is out of ethanol free!!
I need fuel tomorrow. What do y’all think of 5 gallons or so of ethanol gas with mercury additives (which I use anyways). Regular, mid, or super?

Regular is recommended, not really that big of issue. Put gas in it and go fishing.

regular gas and 1 ounce per gallon of B-12. Just as good as non-ethanol

I only run regular gas, Yamalube Ring Free, and Lucas Oil Fuel Treatment and never have any trouble.

I agree with Bradnitro175. If you burn it off real soon it shouldn't be a problem. It's not so much the ethanol that does damage but ethanol + time sitting in the tank and fuel system.

I haven't used ethanol free since they mandated E-10. I've never had a problem... I always follow Mercury's recommendation of Quickare and Quickleen with each fill up... Ethanol free is just a money make for the gas station... Dan

just had to replace powerhead on 250 HPDI. have ALWAYS RUN RINGFREE, STABIL 360.Needless to say it's been an expensive adventure, leaving me paranoid. Now I drive 20 miles for ethanol free gas
hoping it will help avoid repeat. One more of these will probably put me on the bank with cane pole and bobber. By the way thought about repowering with 4 stroke but none available.
