Its going to be hard for me to take all the gas I need for this weekend at Apache. I was going to take octane boost along with my 2 stroke oil and prob mix one batch with the Apache lake gas. I wouldn't be gettin on it with that gas in the tank but Im still not sure. Anyone have any advice for/against??
Oh yea the motor is a 2.4 EFI Bridgeport Merc.

:peace

You don't have oil injection on the bad boy???

I don't know about Apache, but most marina gas in general is usually pretty questionable quality wise.  We always took 4 or 5 five gallon can's and filled them up at a filling station somewhere.  An additional 20 gallons alway seemed to get us through a weekend.  (My family had a boat with a 200 hp Black Max on the back).

No oil injection. I just figure if I carry it in the boat its going to end up all over the place by the time I get to the marina. If you go out there messing around agn this weekend look me up I'll be in the rv park at the marina.

I''m probably not going to make it up this weekend.  I've got to go smack whitey around on Saturaday (one of our vendors is sponsering a golf tourny at The Gallery :D  :beer ).  

You guys have a good time and be safe.   :good  :beer  :drink

Right on! I'll see what I can work out and I guess I'll fill those tanks at Roosevelt. Apache is sweet but I dread the road in (if the road was better everyone in Az would be there).

True dat :good  One of the reasons I really never run high compression motors is so I can run marina gas. Used to haul 55 gallon drums for long weekends back in the 70's but that was when gas was $1.25 a gallon at the marina. Now at $3.00 a gallon I'll just buy it there :beat See the logic :banghead  :rotflmao

I guess we'll overlook the obvious; KC hasn't run an entire tank of gas through a boat since the 70's...  :laugh

Sorry Kevin.  :D

Well how about $2.50 in town for 91 octane (thats what I need). My buddy flaked out on the trip so I prob won't end up skiing now (less gas). I have 36 gal in the boat and I'll an extra 10 and call it good. That will prob end up being more than enough.
