Solved my ETD problem

Post by rossjo »

Solved my ethanol fuel problem ...

Once I get clean gasoline in my gas boats, I will go out in the middle of the night (when its cool and my boat is asleep) and place a condom over the gas vent.

When it gets warm, my boat will display its happiness by inflating the condom, and when it gets cool again at night, it will deflate and let my boat sleep well, knowing its protected from ETDs (Ethanol Transmitted Diseases).

Looked in my wallet, but after 20 years of marriage old trusty has been removed. So I'm off to buy a Ribbed Trojan (yuck yuck). Can I get one in Matterhorn white?

Up early - brain still functioning - came up with the balloon idea yesterday - the condom was a little fun add-on after chatting with Larry.

Goes with the Trojan them ;-)

Honestly - it WILL keep new air from entering my system - which is important in Charleston, SC where its usually 90%+ humidity year round. Can't be used underway, but I will use a balloon on my trailer gas boat vents when they're not being used (before I wash them).
