Tech Spot – Fuel Facts: Alan Blake thunders up the coast on Gollara to deliver a "strictly" important warning about E10 fuel in boat engines. Discover why ethanol is "hydroscopic," how it causes phase separation, and why 98 Premium unleaded is actually the cheaper, safer choice for your outboard in the long run. Regional Reports: Kieran Reekie provides a massive sweep of the state, covering everything from Mangrove Jack in Coffs Harbour to Cod and Yellowbelly in the Tamworth dams, and the heavy Salmon runs in Narooma.
