Ethanol, please help by following the link.
On March 6, 2009, a new pro-ethanol lobbying organization called Growth Energy and 54 ethanol manufacturers formally requested that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) increase ethanol blend levels in gasoline up to 15 percent (E15). As is required by law, EPA on April 21 published a Notice for Comment in the Federal Register, beginning a 30-day public comment period that closes on May 21, 2009. Ethanol Advocates are mobilizing their forces to submit 20,000 favorable comments to EPA requesting that the Agency grant a waiver for E15. Let's beat them at their own game. There are 18 million boats currently in operation in the U.S., and none of them has been designed, certified or warrantied to run on anything above E10, the current maximum legal blend level. Boaters know very well that increased ethanol blends will cause performance problems with their boats and engines, increase maintenance costs, potentially pose safety risks and increase air pollution. And yet, neither EPA nor any other federal agency has done a single test on the impacts of E15 on marine engines, fuel systems, or components. Marine engines and fuel systems are not designed, calibrated or certified to run on anything above 10 percent ethanol. We ask you to support a science first approach and urge EPA to deny the ethanol industry's E15 waiver request unless and until independent and comprehensive scientific testing is completed on a full range of marine engines and other products. CLICK HERE for further information or to send your comments to the EPA.

I filled the form and "sent it", though I could not be certain it went...kind of a glitchy
site. I think we are spitting into the wind. The EPA does what it damn well pleases; a bunch of unelected bureacrats and office slugs, imo, driven by quasi-science, political pressure and lobbyists. BR,mD

I just gave the SIB info to them through the link to remind them that higher ethanol content caused unwarrantable engine damage. Now if I can send them some huge forceps they can pull their heads out of........(fill in the blanks!)
