Q & A on Ethanol for boats

NMMA's John McKnight joined us to answer your questions about ethanol. Here's some background: Today’s boats and marine engines are designed to operate on E-10. The EPA has received a waiver from Growth Energy to increase the ethanol content in gasoline to 15%. The EPA has until December to decide whether or not to allow 15% ethanol in the US gasoline supply. Engine manufacturers will be working with the Department of Energy this summer to begin testing E-15 on select engines. The move towards increasing the ethanol content in gasoline is being driven by the mandate that requires 36 billion gallons of bio fuel in the US fuel supply by 2022.
