I was thinking about getting 90 octane gas at a local station instead of buying gas at the marina. My 17' Whaler only holds 12 gallons, so if I get a couple of 5 gallon cans it would be pretty easy to do. I did not know what if any difference there is between what you buy at the marina besides paying a higher price. I know Capt. Juls talks about buying gas at the gas station before her trips out on the lake.

almost anything you bolt to a marine engine needs to be marine rated. Insurance issues aside if there is any type of accident. Anything relating to fuel, electicity, or sparks is enginered to mitigate any errant sparks or fuel spillage resulting in a catastophic explosion on the water.<br /><br />I am not sure on the actual differences for the fuel pump, but I am sure there are differneces in the way it handles internal failures as to where is routes fuel in that regard.<br /><br />in short <br />DON'T CHANCE IT

[julia6roberts]

sounds like you still have a problem in the accelerator pump circuits in the carb. more

I believe that a marine fuel pump has 2 diaphrams as per a technical support rep from a local dealership. <br />Chuck

Bosch supplied the industry’s first fuel injection system with a high pressure electric fuel pump in 1967. Since then, Bosch has stood at the forefront of fuel system technology, providing fuel pumps to virtually all vehicle manufacturers. Compared to conventional fuel pumps, Bosch Pumps deliver 30% higher efficiency and the precise fuel supply required for a partial or full load – saving fuel and reducing CO2 emissions. [links]

Constantly evolving technologies and state-of-the-art manufacturing over the past 35 years allow Bosch to supply fuel pumps with tight tolerances and compact design, making way for the latest advancement — turbine pump technology. This revolutionary technology replaces older pump designs, providing improved drivability and reduced hot-start problems. [links]

The high-pressure pump is responsible for compressing the fuel supplied by the electric fuel pump to the pressure required for high-pressure injection up to 20 MPa (200 bar). here

Marine fuel is blessed several times by priests of neptune, the sea god, as it's refined by elves from the remains of aquatic dinosaurs that lived exceptionally pure lives several million years ago. It's then transferred using gold lined tanker trucks to ritually constructed gas tanks located at each marina, where a teenager making minimum wage sells it to rich boaters. [links]

As they say in real estate class ; location,location, location! anything on the waterfront will cost you dearly.

Or at least, that's what I can deduce from the price of gas on the water. [links]
