This is a note from a Marine industry publication. It is important for all of us who use small gas power motors such as the Honda 2000. The use of over the road 15% ethanol gas ithese small gas power motors is not good as the 15 percent ethanol will damage these motors.

From "Trade Only" 4/13/18
The Environmental Protection Agency is seeking public comment on approving isobutanol — another term for biobutanol — for highway use.
The National Marine Manufacturers Association is urging the recreational marine industry to say yes to making the biofuel available to the public via a Boating United alert.
The marine industry has done significant testing on isobutanol and has determined it to be a solution for marine engines, versus fuel blended with 15 percent ethanol, which has been shown to harm marine and other small engines.
"This is something the marine industry has been pushing for years," NMMA federal and legal affairs vice president Nicole Vasilaros told Trade Only Today.
Approval for highway use would start the process of integrating that biofuel into the fuel supply.
Adding isobutanol into the fuel supply would also mean the nation could comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard, which was updated in 2007, to mandate an increasing use of biofuels in the overall supply, without continuing to increase the percentage of ethanol.
