Regarding boat gas...
I spoke to Roger today and found out he buys his gas from Dennis Burke which is the same distributor used by Melvin Village Marina according to Chuck. Both said it was rated 89 octane and both said it is delivered in smaller trucks.
Roger showed me the card from Dennis Burke which is out of the market terminal area in Chelsea, MA.

Same distributor but is it the same gas that Melvin Village sells? By that I mean is it ValveTek fuel? If it is he should have the signs that Melvin and others have advertising it is indeed ValveTeck. Still not convinced he is selling quality product.

Alan,
2 things
1. Maybe I'm crazy but if Melvin and Pier 19 buy the same gas from the same guy wouldn't you think they'd send one truck from Chelsea to fill both tanks? Just a thought I could be wrong.
2. When I filled my Whaler at Pier 19 today I noticed that they featured the same Gas Treatment for sale that all the Marinas sell with ethanol.

The same distributor of a product such as fuel can and does carry several different grades/quality product. Melvin Village Marina does not recommend treating their fuel with the new stabil treatment as it is ValvTek fuel which is already treated. If Roger was selling this type of fuel it would be advertised as ValveTek fuel which is the prefered fuel for boats. The jury is still out for me.

Just got off the phone with Dennis K Burke in Chelsea and they said that both Melvin Village and Pier 19 is getting ValvTek. At this point I guess I can buy my gas from both and not worry about it.

I buy my gas at Pier 19. With the valvetek already in the gas, do we still need to put in additive. Thanks.

Phil ... add a shot of Bud Lite. It'll make all the difference.

JTA,
That's pretty funny, but seriously about the additive.

Read all about it, link below. Also I might add if any of you are friends with Roger at pier 19 he needs to advertise that his fuel is indeed valvtect. I know many who are still leary of the fuel he is selling since it appears most marina's that are selling it have many sign's up stating it is valvtect and he does not. http://www.valvtect.com/products04.asp |

A mechanic at Melvin V Marina told me that you can't overdose on additive. From what I gather, if you don't use your boat much and it sits around for a long time (a few weeks) between fill ups, it's probably a good idea to throw in a second dose. (Phil, I really was kidding ... who would waste some Bud Lite?).

Miller Lite works much better than Bud Light.

Alan I concur if I had Miller Lite I would rather dump it in the gas as an additive than drink it. ha ha ha. My Father-In-Law on the other hand... he'd kill me for wasting his beer of choice.
