In another oft-discussed move, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved the increase in the amount of ethanol blended in gasoline. At present, only 10 % blended fuels are accessible & cars & trucks built after 2007 are equipped to handle the 10% blend with no damage, but that's the max. plenty of Industrial Filters Manufacturers warranties are voided if fuels with blends of more than 10% are used.
Most mechanics and owners know that the blended fuels are hard on plastic and rubber parts that are exposed to the present blends and no one is positive what the increase will do. The alcohol is an excellent solvent and may cause the scouring of fuel tanks, depositing the sludge in fuel lines and Industrial filters.
What will it do to your boat motor? it is already a proven fact that the rubber and plastic fuel system parts are susceptible to destroy and the aluminum parts corrode basically when the blended fuels are left sitting in an unused motor for long periods of time.
The fuels are expected to be better for the environment, but at what cost to the consumer? all of us need clean-burning fuels & this may be the answer.
But to change the blend without the Industrial Filters Manufacturers having a chance to re-engineer their products is short-sighted & may only cause more pollution when the materials in the fuel system fail or cause destroy in some other way.
There is still some excellent bass, crappie & cat fishing going on at most of the lakes in our region. The water temps are in the low fifties, but that has not made the fish quit biting.
A mate had a nice day on Grand Lake recently plus they reported four nice keepers plus several tiny fish caught from only 4 to 7 feet of water.
Who says the fish go deep in the colder water? As i have always stated, there's fish that live shallow and fish that live deep - all year long.
