These contaminants can be pumped into boaters’ fuel tanks and can cause an engine to shut down or permanent damage. The presence of ethanol gasoline and ultra low sulfur diesel fuel makes this situation even worse. To combat this problem, all Certified ValvTect Marinas must have their fuel tanks tested before they are allowed to sell ValvTect Marine Fuels and up to twice a year thereafter.
