Author	Topic:   Ethanol Additives Are Virtually Snake Oil
lakeman	posted 08-01-2009 07:08 AM ET (US)         Just yesterday, after buying non E10 gas from one of the last gas stores that have it, [the seller] claimed that Shell, his supplier, says that no additives will help with E10 problems for boaters and the additives are virtually snake oil. After doing some research, I found [an article on a website that sells test kits]. The station owner has [fought] E10 for long time. He showed me [another] article on the marine groups loosing a lawsuit over [ethanol].
