10% Ethanol Gasoline

[PennSTAR 445]

Hoping someone can answer this for me. My boat is trailered and I am out of state on a small vacation. The river I plan to do most of my boating on doesn't have a fuel dock anywhere near where I am going to launch. I have gone to several gas stations but all of them are selling gasoline with 10% Ethanol cant' find any just straight gasoline.

I have a 2005 SeaDoo Speedster 200 and I will be filling the tank completely at next fill up since it is on just about empty. Can I fill it with the gas that has the 10% in it or will i damage my boat? I have talking to some people about this and have gotten mixed reports some say don't do it without a fuel stabilizer while others say just fill it up you have nothing to worry about. Planning on filling up in the AM and just wanted to run the question by all you folks here as well.

Thanks in advance for the help. Stay safe!

Nate,

Dont stress out bro. You can use E-10. If you think you'll burn through the tank within the next week or two you dont need to add any stabilizer. If you think that fuel will be in the tank more than a couple of weeks I would want the Marine Sta-bil in it if it was mine.
