Boaters Concerned About New
Ethanol Blends

   Ohio boaters are caught in the middle of a growing issue of concern that focuses on alternative fuels.  Specifically, the Environmental Protection Agency  will soon allow ethanol-blended fuels containing up to 15 percent ethanol instead of the current 10 percent limit.
ethanol
   Standing in opposition to this measure are some of the nation's boaters and boating organizations such as Boat U.S. and the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA).  Their chief area of concern is whether boat engines and marine fuel tanks will be negatively impacted by the increased percentage of ethanol-blended marine fuels.

   "This is not about growing renewable energy," said Margaret Podlich, vice president of government affairs for Boat U.S. in a July press release from that organization. "We had significant problems with the nationwide rollout of E-10 a few years ago and without further independent testing of E-15 with marine engines, we are very likely to see similar issues," she said.
