Now did I say ethanol is bad ? Don't put words in my mouth LOL :) ! My opinion is that like every new or recent technology, you have to work out the problems. I'm aware its been around a long time, produced from corn, farmer friendly, and all that, better than supporting O.P.E.C.
Personally, I never used to fuss with the gasoline for anything and never really noticed any trouble with something that sits over the winter, though I try and start things monthly at minimum.
As of late, I have noticed a lot of fuel lines failing on some things, which seems more than in the past, carburetors, well I've cleaned, taken apart, rebuilt or what have you, so many over the years, just old gas, can't pin it on ethanol.
In this instance with the fuel pump strainer, I've never seen rubber or plastic, (jury still out on what was in there) turn to a tacky, stringy substance, did get it mopped up where the strainer sets, dumped carb cleaner in that tank, flush, drain, had to get away from it, fumes too much, it will run tomorrow, if it don't rain !
