Fuel question

[sniper]

I have heard several Yamaha mechanics recommend using non ethenol fuel in yamaha outboards. Where I live most Exon stations in the area sell non ethenol fuel and it is about a nickel a gallon more. What is the best way to go.

And I will add that the 10 micron alone is not enough. At my first indication of Ethanol problems we added a 10 micron after having all 4 carbs rebuilt. Crud from inside the hoses that the E-10 breaks loose has caused two more breakdowns due to fuel blockages.

I will be running StarTron full time as soon as I get it running again.

One big problem is mixing non Ethanol enhanced gasoline with E-10. Can cause a big mess.
