BoatU.S., ValvTect Renew Co-Operative Fuel Program
NORTHBROOK, ILLINOIS (USA) - BoatU.S., the USA’s largest organization of recreational boaters and ValvTect Marine Fuels, the largest supplier of marine fuel, have renewed a cooperative agreement that identifies BoatU.S. Cooperating Marinas that are also Certified ValvTect Marinas.
Certified ValvTect Marinas participating in the BoatU.S. program are identified with the ValvTect Marine Fuel logo on their individual web pages on www.boatus.com/MSL.
Under the agreement, ValvTect also identifies each BoatU.S. Cooperating Marina at www.valvtect.com. “We are pleased to highlight BoatU.S. Cooperating Marinas on our web site where BoatU.S. members can receive a discount on ValvTect Marine Fuels, as well as other products and services. As a lifelong boater and 35-year BoatU.S. member, I appreciate the many services BoatU.S. offers,” said Jerry Nessenson, President of ValvTect.
“Our half a million members own a wide variety of boats with many types of engines, but they all want fuel that can stand up to harsh marine environments,” said BoatU.S. Cooperating Marina Program Manager David Mann. “ValvTect’s gasoline and diesel fuels help them avoid having a bad day on the water, giving them one less thing to worry about. It’s a smart partnership and just another way how we make boating better for our members,” he added.
Gasoline and diesel storage tanks at some marinas can contain excess water and other contaminants, such as bacteria, algae and water. These contaminants can be pumped into a boat’s fuel tank and can cause an engine to shut down or sustain permanent damage. The new grades of ethanol gasoline, ultra low-sulfur diesel and biodiesel can make this situation even worse. (PHOTO CAPTION: Fuel storage tanks at Certified ValvTect Marinas are tested for water, bacteria and other contamination up to twice a year.)

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. “Our mandatory tank testing program, plus special hydroscopic fuel filters that are also required at all ValvTect Marinas’ fuel pumps, help ensure ValvTect Marine Gasoline and ValvTect Marine Diesel are free of contamination such as water and bacteria. Marinas that do not pass the test must have their tanks cleaned and retested to be free of contamination before they can sell ValvTect Marine Fuels,” Jerry Nessenson said. Marinas that pass the tank test are awarded a Certification of Contamination Free Storage Tank certificate that can be displayed on the fuel dock.

To Help Prevent Ethanol Gasoline Problems
New Apex Boat Owners To Receive Bottles of ValvTect Ethanol Gasoline TreatmentNORTHBROOK, ILLINOIS (USA) - ValvTect Petroleum Products, manufacturer of marine fuel additives specially formulated for marine engines and operating conditions, announces that Apex Marine Inc., world’s largest manufacturer of compact pontoon boats, will include a sample of ValvTect Ethanol Gasoline Treatment with each new boat to help its new owners avoid problems that can be caused by ethanol blended gasoline.
“Although we build our boats to the industry’s most stringent specifications, ethanol gasoline can destabilize very quickly, cause corrosion and some problems to the fuel delivery systems and engine components which can be prevented by a fuel additive such as ValvTect Ethanol Gasoline Treatment” said Mark DuPuie, President of Apex Marine. “By providing samples of ValvTect Ethanol Gasoline Treatment with each boat, we are helping our customers prevent ethanol related problems and better enjoy their boating experience,” he added.
“We are proud to have Apex Marine on board with us to help educate boaters about the problems and the solution for ethanol gasoline problems,” said Jerry Nessenson, President of ValvTect Petroleum Products.
Headquartered in St. Louis, Michigan, Apex Marine, Inc. manufactures Qwest LS, Qwest Adventure and GillGetter compact pontoon boats.

www.valvtect.comValvTect Ethanol Gasoline Treatment:
The Perfect Winterizing Solution For Ethanol Gasoline
EDITORS: Download a high res image of the ValvTect Ethanol Gasoline treatment bottle at: www.homeportmarine.com/news/valvtect/ethanol.zip.
NORTHBROOK, ILLINOIS (USA) - With ethanol blended gasoline making up over 80% of the nation’s gasoline supply, traditional gasoline stabilizers that only stabilize the fuel do not provide the total protection needed to assure marine engines will be in top notch condition next spring.
Although many gasoline stabilizers provide improved stabilization, they do not also provide protection against corrosion and dreaded phase separation - both can ruin next years' boating season.
To provide protection against the ravaging effects of ethanol and entrained moisture over the log winter lay-up, ValvTect Ethanol Gasoline Treatment is the perfect winterizing solution that can provide stabilization for up to two years, help prevent corrosion of internal engine components and phase separation.
To prove the total performance of ValvTect Ethanol Gasoline Treatment, ValvTect Petroleum authorized a series of laboratory tests at one of the nation’s most prestigious independent petroleum laboratories. In addition to ValvTect’s ethanol treatment improving the stability of the E10 (90% gasoline plus 10% ethanol) by 186%, it also received a perfect A rating for corrosion prevention and showed the ability to retain moisture and ethanol in the E10 fuel that can help prevent phase separation, especially during winter storage.
ValvTect will also help boaters save money with a $2.00 rebate per bottle that can be obtained in boating magazines including BoatUS Magazine, Boating and Soundings and at ValvTect’s web site. ValvTect Ethanol Gasoline Treatment can be purchased at West Marine and other marine supply stores nationwide.

www.valvtect.comValvTect Completes Testing Marina Fuel Tanks For Contamination
NORTHBROOK, ILLINOIS (USA) - Unfortunately, it is all too common for gasoline and diesel storage tanks at marinas to contain excess water and other contaminants, such as bacteria, algae and debris. 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. This testing, plus special hydroscopic fuel filters that are required to be installed on all ValvTect Marinas’ fuel pumps, helps ensure boaters that ValvTect Marine Gasoline and ValvTect Marine Diesel are free of contamination.
Marinas that do not pass the test must have their tanks treated, cleaned and retested to be free of contamination before they can sell ValvTect Marine Fuels. Marinas that pass the test are awarded a “Certification of Free Storage Tank” certificate that can be proudly displayed on the fuel dock.

“We believe the ValvTect Quality Control Certification program is the only program of its kind in the marine industry. While it is costly and time consuming, we believe it is essential to provide boaters marine grade fuel that will not only provide better performance, but also prevent fuel related engine problems caused by a contaminated fuel tank,” said Jerry Nessenson, President of ValvTect Petroleum.
Boaters can look for ValvTect’s certificate indicating the marina’s fuel tanks have been tested and certified free of contamination where ValvTect Marine Gasoline with Ethanol Gasoline Treatment and ValvTect Marine Diesel with BioGuard are sold. Both ValvTect fuels are specially formulated for marine engines to prevent ethanol and ultra low sulfur diesel fuel problems.
