Ethanol Blended Fuel

 

Date:     25/11/2009
From:   International Marine, (makers of Caribbean Boats)

Subject:   Notice to ALL dealers

For immediate circulation to all

With the increasing availability of ethanol blended fuels, we find it timely to reiterate our caution as listed in our Boat Owner’s Manual regarding its use in boats.

Ethanol blended fuels are NOT suitable for use in FRP and aluminium fuel tanks, NOR are they suitable for the fuel system and the motor/s installed. We would therefore urge you to pass on this very important information to all your customers with petrol powered boats of any brand.
