magicwormman Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Does anyone know where I can buy some ethanol free gas. I live on Y highway near Reeds Spring. The Y store has plenty, but their pump is broken and have no idea when it will be repaired. Is there anywhere between here and Springfield that might have some good fuel? Thank You!

Macsimus Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Lilley's Landing has ethanol-free in 87 octane. Based on many statements from Don Weed in the BBC Merc forums, I am hesitant to burn premium in my Merc ProXS. Below is a statement from Don that I saved as a reminder to myself. I believe that Don tends to error on the side of caution but when one has an outboard approaching 16K in value, I guess so do I. However, I'm interested in others perspective on this. p.s. I've never tried to buy gas at Lilley's. Is it available at the street or dock? Higher octane fuels burn SLOWER and COOLER. When utilized in an engine not DESIGNED for high-octane, this results in an INCOMPLETE BURN of fuel (and essentially, a richer operating condition- which contributes to carbon buildup). Also, because the fuel burns SLOWER and COOLER, the BTU output is LOWER, and the power produced per unit of fuel is actually LOWER. This means "less performance".

vonreed Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Signal in Nixa at HWY160 &14 HWY has Ethanol Free gas. It's where I get all my small engine gas. magicwormman 1
Terrierman Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Ozark Signal at 65 and CC has ethanol free premium. That's my usual gas place for all small engines. Remember to pump some premium in your car/truck to clear the lines of regular gas. magicwormman 1

Thanks for posting that for us Pro XS guys. I also use fully synthetic Mercury DFI oil (the brown stuff) and treat my fuel regularly with Mercury QuicKlean to combat carbon buildup. If you use ethanol-added fuels, be sure to treat every tank with Mercury QuickCare. Smalls21 and Bassmod 2
