Hi All !
Guys it may be time to start thinking about purchasing a kit to measure the methanol in our fuel. I recieved a call from a gentleman today that has a 26 Regulator and fishes in the North Shore MA area. He called me to ask what the MA limit on
methanol was in the gasoline. I told him as of rite now it is 10 percent however they EPA are thinking about jacking it to 15.
The reason he asked is he just launched two powerheads under warranty and the Yammi man was there to find out why. Well
the fuel was in question so the gentleman explained he had recently topped off at this station near the MA /NH boarder. Both he and the Yammi rep went back to the station to take a fuel sample. Well the bad news is the Yammi rep measured 20 percent ! The Yammi rep say sorry no warranty and the MA regulators of the beauru of weights and measurements are are involved.
Just a note to be carefull. If your engines start to sound / run differently after a fill up don't pust it ! You four stroke guys should be in the safe zone for awhile but the two cycle people beware ! This EPA **** is going to far ! They keep this crap up only the lawers are going to enjoy the weekends !
