House Bill Aims to Reform Renewable Fuel Standard
As stated in Haynes’ article from Trade Only Today, a bill that would
help ease ethanol mandates was introduced in the House of Repre-
sentatives on Wednesday, February 4th, 2015. Michael Lewan, grass-
roots and government relations manager for the National Marine
Manufacturers Association, alerted members Tuesday to the bill dur-
ing a webinar designed to brief the boating industry about issues
affecting the boating industry during the 114th Congress. Boating
United, an online grassroots platform that the NMMA started about a
year ago, has launched a grassroots campaign to rally support for the
new bill. “The new bill would recognize the failure of the current Re-
newable Fuel Standard and its out-of-date ethanol-mandate and make
the necessary changes so there is a safe fuel for all gasoline-powered
engines,” Boat US government affairs program manager Nicole Palya
Wood said in a statement. Supporters of the bill say E15, or gasoline
that is 15 percent ethanol, has been proven to damage marine and
other small engines. No marine (continued to page 2)
"We are excited to
expand our relationship
with AFS from the
construction fueling
industry to the
waterways. Delivering
our customers the
highest quality marine
diesel and gasoline
possible is our joint goal.”

engines in the country are warranted to
run on any gasoline blend that contains
more than 10 percent ethanol, or E10.
According to AAA, only about 12 million
of the more than 240 million light-duty
vehicles on the roads today are ap-
proved to use E15 gasoline, based on a
survey conducted by AAA of auto manu-
facturers. Any damage from the use of
fuels with blends 15 percent or higher in
cars and trucks will void many manufac-
turers’ warranties.
The Renewable Fuel Standard, which
was amended in 2007, was written with
the assumption that fuel consumption
would increase. However, declining fuel
consumption has made the mandate to
have 36 billion gallons of ethanol in the
fuel supply by 2022 untenable, the
NMMA has said.
A Boating United campaign is urging
boaters to contact members of Congress
to support H.R. 704, bipartisan legisla-
tion that seeks to amend the Renewable
Fuel Standard.
The Next Generation Marine Fuel Makes
its Maiden Voyage
We wanted to share some important news on our formal entry
into the marine fuel markets with Slipstream™ Premium Marine
Fuel at the dock. As a company, we are leveraging our experi-
ence and manufacturing alliances in the gasoline and diesel
markets with the intention of bringing to the marine market
fuels that will provide maximum performance with the eco-
nomics to satisfy marinas and boaters at sea or at the lake. The
new marine fuel is positioned to be the most advanced marine
fuel brand in the market serving both gasoline and diesel en-
gines. Designed for the rigors of fresh and sea watercraft of all
sizes, the marine fuel is commercially blended with fuel perfor-
mance enhancers that help ensure greater efficiency and im-
proved engine performance.
Slipstream™ intends to lead the industry in fuel quality, prom-
ising to boat owners, who pay a high price for gasoline and
diesel that it will deliver on its performance claims and help

Is There A Killer In Your Boat?
The gas in your boat needs special
care to keep your engine running at
peak performance. Preventing fuel
related problems, such as those
caused by ethanol and other noted
fuel contaminants, are more im-
portant than ever.
Ethanol Plus Water Equals Problems Ethanol is hydrophilic — it likes to
absorb water. Water can get into
your tank through leaks in the gas-
kets on the filler cap or from con-
densation inside the tank due to
temperature changes. If water
does get in, the ethanol in the gas-
oline will absorb it. Ethanol can on-
ly absorb so much water. When it
becomes completely saturated,
phase separation occurs, and the
corrosive ethanol-water mixture
sinks to the bottom of the tank. If
the engine is running this mixture
can damage seals, O-rings, injec-
tors, and other delicate engine
parts.
So What Do I Do Now?
Most boaters don’t know that using
a gasoline or diesel fuel specially
formulated for marine engines can
significantly reduce fuel consump-
tion and maintenance costs, extend
marine engine life, and prevent eth-
anol and ultra-low sulfur diesel re-
lated problems. The additives in
automotive-grade gasoline or truck-
grade diesel fuel are typically not
effective enough to keep a marine
engine’s fuel system clean of de-
posits. They also do not contain ad-
ditives that help prevent premature
wear. Slipstream™ Premium Marine
Diesel Additive and Premium Ma-
rine Gas Additive are specially for-
mulated for marine engines to keep
injectors clean and maintain opti-
mum performance. Slipstream™
helps prevent the problems associ-
ated with ethanol blended gasoline,
such as phase separation, moisture
contamination and poor stability.
Our premium marine additive will
ensure the safest, most enjoyable
boating experience imaginable.
5 tips to help prevent water contamination problems
Marine engines require
special precautions to pre-
vent water contamination
from ethanol. Active fuel
management is required
to protect marine engines
from adverse effects of
ethanol and to prevent
water from entering the
fuel system. Below are 5
helpful tips to prevent wa-
ter contamination prob-
lems:
1. Keep your fuel tank as
full as possible with
fresh fuel and out of
direct sunlight.
2. Install additional water
separating fuel filters in
your boat and keep
spare filters on-hand.
3. Stabilize fresh fuel
when storing your boat.
4. Rely upon a proven fuel
distributor recognized
for providing quality
fuels and service.
5. Know the specific fuel
laws for your state as
laws and fuel composi-
tion change often.
