This sucks for us!

I have a 2008 yamaha 70 2 stroke with 332 hrs. , 2006 briggs generator , 2007 stihl blower , 2 year ryobi weedeater , 4 year old briggs push mower . I don't know when ethanol came out but all i use is shell regular and never had a problem . Last 2 years i been useing marine sta-bil just in case. Yamalube ring free also is suppose to protect fuel system from ethanol. Any time you let an engine sit up is bad for it no matter what kind of gas you use. i crank my generator every 2 months and during winter same with mower and others. There are gas hoses ,mainly the cheap ones that ethanol will melt . Most of the ones that are clear on inside and rubber outside. If your hose is over 5 years you should replace it anyway before it starts eroding on the inside. Thats what those lil black particles are in the gas filter. Auto parts stores sell good gas hose you can buy by the foot probly cheaper than a boat dealer. If your boat sits 2 weeks hook the hose to it and run it. In my opinion i think this ethanol is just a way for government to get older cars off the road and force people to buy new......
