The North Carolina Off Road Fuel Coalition (NCORFC) is a grass roots organization made up of NC citizens that have a mission. That mission is to educate NC citizens about Ethanol Blended fuels and to make some changes in NC law as pertains to the: sale of, distribution of, labeling of, and regulation of Ethanol Blended fuels.

The Founding Fathers of the NCORFC are the same folks that helped with House Bill 2167 in 2008. This group made history in NC by overwhelmingly overturning Governor Mike Easley's VETO of the bill. Now, they are at work again for the citizens of NC.

The NCORFC's number one goal is to have distributors provide "off road fuel." This "off road fuel" will be non-Ethanol Blended fuel. The NCORFC also wants to ensure that marinas are never forced to sell Ethanol Blended fuels. The NCORFC wants all pumps in NC labeled with Ethanol Blend they are selling, and the State to put regulations in place to randomly test the Ethanol Blend that is being sold.

Does the NCORFC think this can happen? YES.

It seems Ethanol Blended fuels first showed up in Eastern NC, where most boaters are, figure that one out.

NC citizens are being hammered with repair bills and many are ready and willing to support NCORFC. Class Action Lawsuits may be on the horizon.

Stay tuned.
 
Okay folks......IT IS TIME TO UNITE !!!!

Please pass the word about the NCORFC website to everyone you know.

We also need to get non-boating folks that have and are being effected by Ethanol involved, so if you know someone, please inform them of the NCORFC!!

We are gearing up to publish our first Form Letter August 31.

It will take time and lots of work folks, but we all know it is desperately needed.

Thanks folks.

Pass the word folks, thanks.
 
It will be an uphill battle, but I wish the NC residents well.

E10 was a pain for some folks here (such as the Bertram owners), but most people planned for it, and took precautions.
I believe most everyone is over the initial shock, and while we don't like E10, we've learned to deal with it.

Good luck!
 
Got a couple questions from several of you:

Q: Can I copy your posts and put them on other sites that I visit?

A: Absolutely. Just make sure that I have not already posted on the site.

Q: Are you storing my information?

A: Yes, I am saving your contact information in a secure area. I will use this data to send out mass emails concerning the NCORFC and our fight.

Keep the Form Letter hopping folks!!

It will be a uphill battle Capt. Kevin, and it will take time, but several states have accomplished what we are trying to do. Keep your fingers crossed!
