If ya like E10 Gas, get ready, here comes E15!!
Warning that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) could be putting consumers at risk, API criticized EPA’s decision to approve higher levels of ethanol in gasoline (E15) before testing is complete:
“EPA is choosing to ignore the red flags in its headlong rush to allow more ethanol in gasoline, putting consumers and their vehicles at risk,” said API Director of Downstream Operations Bob Greco. “Testing needs to be completed before this new fuel mixture is introduced into Americans’ gas tanks.”
Greco said the EPA decision comes before the completion of thorough testing by the automobile and oil industries to ensure the safety and performance of the new fuel for vehicles. He said that testing results so far have revealed problems with E15 and that engine damage from its use may not be covered under vehicle manufacturer warranties.
“API supports a realistic and workable Renewable Fuel Standard and the responsible introduction of increased biofuels in a manner that protects consumers and the investments they’ve made in their vehicles,” Greco said. “However, we cannot rush to allow more ethanol before we know the consequences."
Greco added that the U.S. oil and natural gas industry is the largest consumer of ethanol and other biofuels and remains committed to the use of renewable fuels in our energy mix.
From EPA site (http://www.epa.gov/otaq/regs/fuels/a...15/index.htm):
On April 2, 2012, EPA approved the first applications for registering ethanol for use in making E15. For more information, please see the E15 Registration page and the Registration and Health Effects Testing page.
•On March 15, 2012, EPA informed the Renewable Fuels Association by letter that its Model E15 Misfueling Mitigation Plan would generally be sufficient to satisfy the partial waivers’ requirement for a misfueling mitigation plan. For more information, please see the section on misfueling mitigation plans page.
•On February 17, 2012, EPA released an evaluation of information submitted by the Renewable Fuels Association and Growth Energy for satisfying the emissions and health effects data requirements for registration of E15. The Evaluation Document concludes that the submission would be sufficient to satisfy those requirements. Fuel and fuel additive manufacturers who wish to register E15 may choose to rely on the submission for completing their applications.
•EPA issued a Rule (PDF) (45 pp, 991K, published July 25, 2011) to help inform consumers about the appropriate use of E15 and reduce the potential for misfueling of vehicles, engines and equipment that are prohibited from using E15.

GROWTH ENERGY AND RENEWABLE FUELS ASSOCIATION ARE THE CULPRITS IN THIS BULLSHEEET AND THE EPA OF COURSE. TRY SOME E15 IN YOUR BOAT MOTOR AND SEE HOW LONG IT LASTS!!!! FARGING BASTERDS!
I suggest emailing the EPA and the ethanol pushers at GROWTH ENERGY and RENEWABLE FUELS ASSOCIATION telling them you are part of a grass roots campaign to inform all boat and vehicle owners to file small claims suits against Growth Energy and Renewable Fuels Association and the EPA each time your boat engine malfunctions due to E15 in the Fuel. Clog the GD courts with suits and see what happens-for about $50 you can file a small claims action and do not need an attorney-cheap cost when compared to blown engine, fuel pumps and eaten up fuel lines. That lady in California sucessfully sued Honda for not getting her 40 MPG and won, so can you (I think). EPA is a Federal Agency (worthless mofos for the most part) and likely cannot sue in small claims, but the others you can. Always use Certified mail, Return Receipt and a letter of demand for reimbursement, copy of bill or estimate for repairs and give them 30 days to pay up or you will sue. Then file in small claims (up to $5000). If they fail to show up, the judge should render a Default Judgement in your favor-then file it wherever the defendant owns property and likely you will get paid.
