When levels go above 10 percent ethanol, fuel burns hotter and often reduces engine life. But adding more is exactly what ethanol makers are trying to push past the EPA.

</span><span style="font-weight: bold">What's at stake?</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em; font-size: 10pt"> Higher ethanol blends could harm your car or boat. Engines in older cars and trucks are more easily damaged and wear out faster when run on high ethanol fuels. Small engines – like the two-strokes found in many bass boats – are even more susceptible to damage because the ethanol often washes the lubricating oil off cylinder walls.

</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em; font-size: 10pt">This bill, the Renewable Fuel Standard Reform Act of 2015, would help save our engines by removing the requirement for dangerously high amounts of ethanol to be used as fuel.

</span><span style="font-weight: bold">What can you do?</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em; font-size: 10pt"> Inform your Senators and Representative that this is an important issue to you. Tell them you don’t want higher-ethanol fuels that damage and destroy engines. It just takes a few steps on our website.

In some parts of the country, non ethanol fuel is extremely difficult to find. I fish two such areas and always carry enough pure boat gasoline with me to last the entire trip. Plan ahead.

I don't think you can find any in Illinois. I know we couldn't find any at nationals in the summer of 2013.
