rubble Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 I have been using Rec fuel only for years. On a recent trip I had to top off a tank with E10 (about 15 gal). Ran about 20 gal out and topped back off with 20 gal of Rec fuel. I used up 20 gal again so I have 30 gal of mixed fuel in tank. Have treated with Stabil Marine and Ring Free. Should I top off with more Rec fuel or try to run the tank empty then fill back up with Rec fuel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyB Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 I would say you have done enough to be comfortable that you have reduced the offending fuel to a minimum. I would gas her up as you normally have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason p Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 I think the important thing to remember with ethanol fuel (from my own reading and what makes sense to me anyway) is that it does most of its damage while sitting for extended periods of time, which is why it's so detrimental to fuel systems in stuff that doesn't get used all the time, boats, RVs, etc... If I know I'm gonna burn it immediately, most of it at least, I really don't sweat it too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
