Ethanol Information Page

Ethanol is a fact of life, but many don’t understand the issues surrounding the gasoline blend. LouisianaSportsman.com has collected as much information as possible so that our users can make informed decisions.

There are concerns when using ethanol (so-called E-10) in outboard motors, simply because the fuel systems are (by law) vented as opposed to the closed systems used in vehicles. However, there are ways to address these concerns.
