The use of Ethanol in gasoline has been around for 24 years in regulated states. It has the advantage of providing mor Oxygen in the combustion cycle, reducing un burned HC. It is also responsible for increasing the Octain rating of the fuel. It can and does clean residue from old fuel (leaded and traditional unleaded that contained high levels of additives to build Octaine. It can and has caused issues with fuel filters and the need to change them often at first. It can and has caused old marginal synthetic rubber components, to soften or fail. In my opinion Those components should be replaced periodically any way. It is a farm product. It reduces polution in all equipment when cleaned and adjusted (minor) to allow it to be successfully used. It has a small penalty in BTUs, offset by Old Farm Tractors being able to use higher compression than when new. Personally I have operated every vehicle I have owned since 1980 on it. with no loss of function, reliability, or grief. I replaced the fuel filter in my 51 GMC PU once when filling it for the first time in Arizona. No issues at all. Spark plugs last 100K Miles. oil is cleaner when changed, pistons and combustion chambers are very clean and deposit free when removed. No valve or seats distruction has taken place on any of our family's vehicles from F20s to New cars, including High Output Chainsaw 2 strokes, and outboard engines. (2 and 4 stroke). It is just not an issue at all. Jim
