separate out to the bottom of the tank...So the first sip the engine gets is
a Water/Ethanol mixture...DEATH to two stroke engines!
Also the acidic content of the fuel mixture skyrockets.

Actauly in CT at least we switched in 2005/6. Made a heck of a mess, but by now all the problems should be worked through.
Now you leave your danks as empty as possible when you store the boat, seems to work OK.
