Non compliant fuel and oil line

[vnemous]

Old mercury Grey/Red and some oil line. Wow was all we could say. Thought a snake had shed its skin in the bilge of this Grady.

Vnemous that what was under the cowl where it started to shed the previous owner put silicon over it that fixed it

Ethanol depresses me

Nothing wrong with those They are sold that way as a preform hose for big $ and you also pay extra for the colors to match your rigging.....

I see Sta-Bil has an "ethanol formula" for their storage treatment. I wonder if that's of any real use or if it's marketing gimmicks.

I dont know about Sta-Bil. But I know Startron works!!

I have been using Startron in my off shore rig (150 gal tank) since it was released. All it really does is stop "phase separation" for a couple of years. I don't think it does anything to stop the other negative effects of ethanol. I still had to change out all the hoses on my 88 200 Merc after running E10 with Startron as they started degrading. I solved the problem with my other toys and power tools by only using E-free fuel as they don't use nearly as much fuel. BTW I store all my fuel in metal containers with NO venting and it stays fresh. Gary

Startron gets my vote! Been splashing with it for years.

Never put anything in my fuel and never had a fuel problem. Water etc. The hoses on the other hand are innocent victims of fuel permeation and de-lamination from ethanol. My bro put startron in his tank a few yrs ago and spun his top main bearing on the same tank with his 2.5 200. It was pre mix.....Coincidence? I am not sure....
