Fuel For Sea-Doo Challenger 180

[Dunhams5624]

Just got a Sea-Doo Challenger 180. What gas stations do not have ethanol in the fuel? I would like to fill up before going to the lake and not sure where to go. Heard I should use premium fuel without ethanol.

If you run the boat often I think you could get away with a medium grade of gas that has some ethanol. Of course, non-ethanol is the best way to go, but not a necessity. A lot of gas stations that have non-ethanol gas will call it Rec (recreation) gas/fuel and are usually found in the vicinity of water.

This site provides a good list. Its not 100% accurate, but something to look at.

As mentioned a few tanks of ethanol fuel is ok. Ethanol can be benificial for helping processing moisture in your fuel system. The ethanol will absorb moisture 100% gas is hydrophobi. Excess moisture / water will phase seperate the fuel but if you have enough water to phase separate the fuel you have bigger issues.
