The Renewable Fuels Association is getting into the outdoors, announcing it will be a co-sponsor of the Crappie Masters Tournament Trail with Bass Pro Shops. The goal of the sponsorship will be to educate boaters and outdoors enthusiasts about the benefits of ethanol and its uses in boats and other marine applications. The RFA said it is pleased to co-sponsor the Crappie Masters with Bass Pro Shops, saying it gives them an opportunity to spread the word about ethanol’s benefits to boaters. “There’s been a lot of misinformation perpetuated by biofuels opponents regarding boating and ethanol,” said RFA V.P. of Industry Relations, Robert White. “For the past 30 years, 10 percent ethanol has been used in all types of marine engines and the blend is approved by all major manufacturers.” Bass Pro Shops Crappiemasters Owner and President Brian Sowers said, “We aim to dispel myths and educate the public regarding the safe use of E10 in outboard engines.”
