Gasoline blends havebeen changing in recent years inresponse to concerns about pollution andresulting emissions regulations. One ofthe most obvious changes has been theelimination of lead from most fuels.As gasoline has changed, the amount ofadditives such as aromatics and oxy-genates has increased. These additivesare important for the engines in passen-ger cars, but they can have detrimentaleffects in marine engines, because ofincreased deposits in the combustionchamber.
