Phil,
gasoline here in Turkey is at european cleanliness standards. Probably
true in any EU country, but may want to be more wary in other Non EU
countries / northern africa countries
No ethanol here unless you ask for it.
But be prepared to pay something around $9/gal.
And while Honda's are all around here, competent mechanics are usually
only in the major marine cities...
Fuel seems to last 6+ months in protected fuel tanks kept out of the
sun without having a need for an additive...

Hi All,
We are contemplating replacing our twin diesels with a 15 HP Honda 4
stroke. Weight considerations on our small cat and unavailability of
parts for our worn out 25 YO sail drives are at the core of our
decision. However i am really concerned about the adulteration of
gasoline with ethanol. Problems I have heard about include short
storage life and, with the higher ethanol content blend E20, engine
problems. Honda specifically states that their warranty will not apply
if over 10% ethanol blend is used.
We are planing a cruise to the Med and I fear the worst on the fuel
front. Any first hand info on the subject? Storage life? Additives?
Tank and fuel line considerations?
Thanks
