Do you have corn in gas tank ... probably?

=20

What is everybody doing with their boats for winter storage? It seems =
there are a few options:=20

- Make sure there is no ethanol in your gas (Shell says their V-power =
gas is ethanol free)

- Drain your gas tank before storing

- Ignore the fact and hope for the best

=20

Has any one used the new "Marine Formula STA-BIL Ethanol Treatment"?

Can anyone find it?

I have been told (translated: I don't have any facts) that it costs more =
to get the corn out of the fields and processed than what the farmers =
are getting thus the government is subsidizing the production of =
ethanol.

Below is a link to an article describing the downfall factors of ethanol =
for boaters.
