I did a RYA Powerboat course this week...part of a Safety Boat course I’m doing for my sailing club. It was interesting that they recommend disposing of fuel in the boat tank if it has been standing for over a month because of water content due to the Ethanol. Seemed a bit extreme to me as they have separation filters between tank and engine but they say they need 100% reliability and won’t take chances.
Are you sure this isn't just a ruse by rescue boat helmsmen to regularly top up their cars with fuel from the club's rescue boats ?
