"The definitive list of stations that sell ethanol-free gasoline in the U.S. and Canada."

"pure-gas.org is a site dedicated to one, simple task: to list the gas stations in the U.S. and Canada that serve ethanol-free gasoline. Many older cars, motorcycles, boats and tools have engines that run worse, or have parts that deteriorate, when run on gasoline that contains ethanol. In addition, ethanol leaves residue on valves and other parts that can hinder performance."

It's that time of year again, and we are all looking for pure gas for our old rigs.

Currently all the Kwik Fill stations in the Buffalo and Rochester area carry ethanol free gas.

I spoke to one of the store owners, and he said they aren't even setup to handle ethanol gas.

NFACB SPRING WORKSHOP

MAY 1ST, 2010

@ BUFFALO MARITIME CENTER

901 FUHRMANN BLVD. , BUFFALO, NY.

9 A.M. TO NOON

Presenters in order:

LEW MARKLE: Lew is the owner of Lew’s Canoes located on Centerline Rd. in South Wales, NY. Lew has just completed a canoe building class at the Maritime Center and will show us what is involved in constructing a craft from start to finish. His workmanship is top-notch and it certainly shows in the end product.

CAPT. JOHN POMARANSKI: John runs Pomaranski Marine Surveys located on Grand Island, NY. He does boat surveying on both power and sailboats, commercial and private. He will talk about the issues using Ethanol (E-10) in marine fuels. Concerns such as separation of gasoline and water in tanks, damage to fuel lines, gaskets, valves, push rods, to name a few will be covered and how we can cope with new EPA regulations.

RON GREENE: Now that we know the problems that ethanol creates, Ron @ Enertech Labs in Buffalo will show us how to prevent a lot of these problems from happening. He’s worked on this subject for a number of years and has a great background combating the E-10 evils.

DAVE ALBERTSON: Dave is a new member of your board and a guru on “Glassics”. He is also our webmaster and will discuss the ins and outs of the NFACB website. (oldboatsbuffalo.org.). It’s a big undertaking to keep the website up to date and he will walk us through the internet jungle. After his presentation I’m sure all of our members will put the club’s website in their “favorites” column.

Admission to the workshop is $10 USD. which includes coffee and donuts in the morning plus lunch with beverages will be served at noon.

Plan on attending as this will be our last workshop until the fall/winter session. See you all at the Maritime Center!

Questions please call Alan Frederick @ 692-3611 or

Mick Griffin - One of our “elder” statesmen of the club, Mick will get us up to date on all the new judging changes that ACBS had approved at their summer meeting in St. Michaels, MD.

.

Ryan Sherwood - Ryan is a representative from Thruway Hardwood and

Plywood Corp on Anderson Rd. in Cheektowaga. He will go through what his company can provide in the way of hardwoods and marine plywood that we are always looking for during the restoration process. Always great to have a new supplier as presenter.

Alan Frederick - Now that you have that waterline scribed on your side planking with the laser level you got for Christmas, how do we get those crisp and sharp lines painted in place? No need to bring those 3-D glasses, the mystery will be solved at the Maritime Center. Another long time member of your club, Alan is also sneaking up on the “elder” statesman status.
