According to the Boating United advocacy page, “The administration is ‘very close’ to expanding the sale of fuel with 15% ethanol – known as E15 – year-round, which will needlessly put 142 million American boaters in danger.
“Small engines – like those in your boats, lawn mowers, and motorcycles – can only use fuel with 10% ethanol (E10) or lower. Fuels with a higher ethanol content cause severe damage to smaller engines, putting you and your boat at risk.
“Expanding E15 sales before consumer protections are in place is reckless. Fortunately, there's a solution in Congress called The Consumer Protection and Fuel Transparency Act, which will protect consumers through education and better labeling.”
