Non-ethanol gas is a high-quality fuel that does not contain any grain alcohol. This type of gasoline doesn't burn as fast, can last longer in your boat’s engine and benefits the health of the motor. Here is a guide to the benefits of non-ethanol gasoline and how it can protect your boat at the marina. 

What Are the Advantages of Non-Ethanol Gas?

1. Improved Performance

Non-ethanol gasoline has a higher energy content than ethanol-blended gasoline. As a result, you can expect your boat to perform better and be more efficient with non-ethanol gasoline. 

This is because non-ethanol gasoline burns cleaner and produces less residue, which can clog your engine and reduce performance. By using non-ethanol gasoline, you can enjoy smoother acceleration, better fuel economy, and overall improved performance.

2. Prevents Engine Damage

Ethanol is known to attract water, which can cause a range of problems for your boat's engine. Water can lead to corrosion, rust, and other forms of damage to your fuel system. Non-ethanol gasoline, on the other hand, does not attract water. By using non-ethanol gasoline, you can protect your engine and prevent expensive repairs down the line.

3. Longer Shelf Life

Non-ethanol gasoline has a longer shelf life because ethanol absorbs moisture from the air, which can lead to phase separation. Phase separation occurs when the ethanol separates from the gasoline, causing engine damage and poor performance. 

Non-ethanol gasoline does not have this problem and can last longer in storage. This is especially important for boat owners who store their vessels for extended periods.

4. Safe for Older Engines

Many older boats were not designed to run on ethanol-blended gasoline. In fact, some engines can suffer serious damage from using ethanol-blended gasoline. 

Non-ethanol gasoline is safe for older engines and can help prolong their lifespan. By using non-ethanol gasoline, you can ensure that your engine is running smoothly and avoid costly repairs.
