AWA Alert.
Government forcing high ethanol blends on you -- Drastically slashing ethanol free gasoline supply. Call your Congressional representative today and demand they co-sponsor H.R. 5180.
As a PWC owner, you know the problems that come with ethanol. AWA was one of the first boating groups to warn about the negative effects of ethanol and has championed your freedom of choice when it comes to the fuel you put in your watercraft.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to force you to use higher blends of ethanol, whether you like it or not. Starting in 2017, the EPA wants to increase to E-15 and beyond by making you buy an additional 1 billion gallons of the junk.
Even worse, the EPA demands that ethanol free gasoline production be slashed from the current 5.1 billion gallons, to just a trickle of 200 million gallons whether you like it or not.
E15 and higher blends destroy marine engines – that’s a fact. It can also void warranties and leave boaters stranded on the water, endangering the boating public. Considering that 97 percent of boats are fueled at gas stations, the likelihood of accidental misfueling is extreme.
The EPA is working to force a fuel on you which will destroy your engine, and slash your choice to purchase ethanol free fuels. And they don’t care what you think.
What you can do now:
There is bi-partisan legislation pending in Congress – H.R. 5180 Food and Fuel Consumer Protection Act of 2016. This bill will restore common sense by setting blends back to E-10 and maintaining your freedom of choice back into your fuel tanks.
Please contact your member of congress today and demand they co-sponsor this important legislation immediately.
Spread the word. Urge every boater you know to contact their representative and demand they sign on to H.R. 5180.
We must speak up and reject this extreme push by special interests groups, who could care less if your marine motor is ruined. Your voice is the one that counts. When we speak as one, we prevail. When we are silent, we lose. It’s that simple.
