Here is what I was told about the E10 eythanol by my dealer at hookedonthebay.com
I just purchased a used 170CC with a F75D Yamaha. My dealer (Hooked on the Bay) said because of the E10 eythanol fuels now, that I should use two additives AT ALL TIMES because of possible carbon build up with E10. They are PRI-G (1oz/16gal) and Star-Tron (2oz/16gal of gas). they are a little expense but go along way, and if they keep the engine purring then I am happy. I also have the inline fuel/water separator.
