The E10 breaks down the resin in the fiberglass tank and will lead to tank failure. The E10 also acts like a solvent so any kind of build up in your tank will be disolved and run into the engine. Again, a good filter will handle it before it gets to the engine.
If you don't have a 10 micron filter installed, do it now. Do not rely on the small in-line filter on your engine. It won't protect you. For less than a full tank of gas you can have the peace of mind knowing your engine won't cut out on you just when you need it most.
Tight lines.

Thanks for the info and the advice..I will be doing this as soon as my 2 bathroom remodels are done
.
I started to get nervous because my neighbor has a 2004 angler with a 150 johnson and he just started to have a problem for the first time whie on vacation last week in Tampa.
Has anyone heard about fuel lines breaking down or is that just a myth?
