Pro,s pointer

By Dan

Do not use any gas with more than 10% ethanol (e-85 ethanol), because it will break down over time and settle to the bottom of your tank. This is where the motor draws from, and will cause the motor to run on plan alcohol witch burns hotter and will blow the motor. More information on fuels can be found in Bass& Walleye magazine and FLW outdoors.
