Gas options

[dstockton24]

I'm sure it's been talked about plenty, but I have the Raptor 6.2L, which has do I want to run? My options local are 87 no ethanol or 89 or 91 with ethanol.

This is from the Moomba Manual:

Indmar 6.2L Engines
Use a gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 89. See engine
owner’s manual for more information.

Indmar Marine Engines Manual:

6.2L Indmar Engines 89 Octane

I believe I read somewhere that the fuel can only have a maximum of 10% ethanol.

89 with up to 10% ethanol.

Do not run 87.

If you run 10% ethanol use startron

or stabil 360 marine.

I run 91 octane just because thats the only grade without Ethanol.

ymmv but for us over the last 14 years we use 89 and don't worry about ethanol in the summertime. a tank or 2 before winter we switch to premium non ethanol as that gas will lay up better than ethanol blended fuels over the winter. does not negate the need to run a gas prep like sta-bil for storage tho.
we don't use treatments during the summer as it's a waste of monies if you are using the boat every couple of weeks. these are just glorified car engines.
