The following is a quote from an email I received from the Environmental Working Group (EWG): "Gasoline stations will soon begin selling E15, a blend of conventional gasoline with up to 15 percent ethanol from corn. The Environmental Protection Agency approved the E15 blend for use in vehicles manufactured after 2000. It runs hotter and is more corrosive than pure gasoline or E10 - gasoline plus 10 percent ethanol. Using E15 could void some vehicle and off-road engine warranties." Will anyone running a stock wasserboxer be affected by this change in our fuel? � Obvously the stock wasserboxer was built/designed before 2000. Apparently Congress will soon vote on a bill that will relieve the oil companies from liability in damages caused by the use of E15.� I suppose that is inevitable if it was Congress that allowed the production of this fuel. If it will damage the wasserboxer and the fuel management system, what can we do?� I can't imagine that there will be a separate pump with E10 or straight gas; except at the neighborhood marina perhaps.
