The proliferation of jet skis has one positive side. Many marinas now
sell premium gas which is usually ethanol free. My plane is an
amphibian so I usually just buy 100LL at an airport. Saves the hassle
of checking every time.


Drew, are you more concerned with contamination at a boat dock mogas
facility than at the airport? I would although I am not sure I can
justify why.


No I think there's nothing wrong with buying gas at a marina if it's
ethanol free. I have had trouble getting to the pumps at marinas for
some reason they think it's neccessary to put lampposts and mast
hoists right where I want my wing.
