Boaters rocked by effect of ethanol-laced fuel
Some complain they weren't warned about damage to tanks
ENERGYApril 15, 2008|Elizabeth Douglass, Times Staff Writer
Something was wrong with Sally Ann.
For months, she sputtered and choked, and Barry Treahy's remedies weren't working. He kept changing her fuel filters. Then he rebuilt her carburetor. Finally, he cut into her gas tank, cleaned out the mysterious caramel-colored gunk and patched her up -- twice.
Disaster struck on a summer day in San Diego, when Treahy's beloved 20-foot fishing boat was parked street side with the outer hull plug open to drain any residual water. The boat's 55-gallon gas tank failed and gasoline streamed into the bilge and down the street.
"I wasn't smart enough to figure it out at first," Treahy said of Sally Ann's chronic troubles. Finally, he found the answer in a boating magazine. Ethanol-laced gasoline was dissolving his boat's fiberglass fuel tank, sending bits of resin to clog filters and ultimately eating a hole all the way through the tank. Years of adding ethanol to gasoline to reduce air pollution and foreign oil dependence has had a nasty side effect: The stuff appears to damage boat fuel tanks made of fiberglass. And California is a floating testing ground for the ethanol effect.

a. Harley Owner's Group (HOG) Bike Wash To Benefit Bomberos - Every Spring the Cabo HOG members get together and put on the annual HOG Bike Wash with proceeds going to a local charity. This year’s event will take place on Saturday, May 15 at 2:00 P.M. in front of the Cabo San Lucas Fire Department. The street in front of the fire station will be blocked off to make room for the stage, food vendors, sponsors and motorcycles, with most of the proceeds going to the Bomberos (Fire Department). There will be a special section set up for the ladies to soap up the motos and 4 live bands are scheduled to perform throughout the day. There’ll be plenty of tacos, burgers and other BBQ food items for sale throughout the event, including ice cold cervezas and sodas. Event t-shirts and bandanas will also be for sale. The main focus is over 200 motorcycles lined up at the event just waiting to be checked out. It’s a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon in Cabo and a great way to help out the Bomberos. - Bob Pearsall, bobscabo@yahoo.comwww.hogbajachapter.com,  624-168-2242, Cabo San Lucas

a. Carlene Lokey here from Homes and Land of Baja Real Estate.

I would like to invite you, your friends and guests to our open houses in El Cardonal this Thursday (5/13) from 1pm to 3pm.
We will have two homes open for viewing.

Casa Villa Arcadia $647,000
Newly built home comes completely furnished and turn key. The home features four bedrooms and five baths, a finished garage and a great room that looks out over the pool to the Sea of Cortez. Extra high ceilings and gorgeous views add to the airy feeling of this 2,450 square foot home. The 1,900 square meter lot is situated so that it has a beachfront view without the beachfront price. Easy access just off the paved road to El Cardonαl.

Casa Cardonal ~ $129,000
This two bedroom one bath, 1,138 square foot home has a great view from the back deck and roof. It’s only minutes from the beach and has additional power and septic on the lower part of the lot for an RV or other home.

Directions: Continue through Los Barriles and go north across the two arroyos, stay on the paved road until you come to the end of the road in El Cardonal. Turn left and go about 1/8 of a mile. Turn right following the open house signs. The home is a yellow two story on the right. We'll have directions to the second home there. Snacks and cold beverages will be provided.
