good morning to the forum just wishing to know I have two mercury outboards a mid 90 3 cyclinder 75 and a 3 cyclnder 70

Yes you can use the fuel you just need to be aware of possible water intrusion in the fuel tank. The best way is to keep the fuel tank topped off in between uses. Especially if you are putting the boat up for extended periods and run the engine out of fuel between uses as well. The fuel tank will breath with the rise and fall of the barometer if it is full of fuel it will not breath.

thank you for the help will keep t under advisement and hope the government does not phase out standard unleaded
 
We have the same damn problem here in the States. We've learned to live with it, using a fuel additive like Star Tron.
