Anyone know of a place to get ethanol free gas in the Pulaski/Oswego areas?

Posted

All Fastracs carry non ethanol 91 octane premium gas only. You won't find any non ethanol 87 or 89 octane there.

ok. so I guess I will run ethanol 87 then cause that is the octane my boat says to use in the manual

I guess. I have a 1991 Mercruiser 4.3 L gen 2..

The 91 will run in it just fine. If you are going to get 87 get a bottle of startron(might have spelled that wrong) and put a little in each time.

I read you can have problems running ethanol gas and then going back to non-ethanol. Anyone experience problems doing this?

I have only had access to ethanol gas and so far using Startron or Seafoam no issues.

I did this didn't see many problems the OLE 1988 runs much better on it ....... saw LOTS of problems when I had to use the e-10 crap ....... I used the startron before all the time every fill up...... not any more...... thanks to FasTrac....,...

there is also a Fastrac in Mexico....... if you don't get a break on you CC for gas take the time to apply for the Fastrac card save you $.07/gal and  $.10/Gal on Sundays................

I probably should have added that my motor is not an older motor, it's a 2008. I believe a lot of the problems are with older engines. I'm sure newer engines run better on non-ethanol too but without general supply it is hard to do. I'll see if I can find where I saw switching back and forth could cause problems.

You can also download a free app called pure-gas.org. It will use your smart phone's location services to tell you where stations near you have ethanol free gas anywhere you go. They also have a main website you can access via computer.
