The more humid the climate where you live, the more trouble you will have with small engines running E10 or E15 blend gas. The problem is in no way limited to Briggs and Stratton. I live in south eastern VA, and until recently I was running E10 gas in all of my small engines due to the distance involved to travel to a marina. This year, I had to replace the carb on a Tecumseh 10 Hp engine on a 5KW generator due to internal clogging and corrosion. Also, I had to rebuild the carb on my Partner gas cut off saw. The tip on the needle/seat had swelled up and broken off. Now the Kohler Command 25 HP on my zero turn is running and idling rough, and will need the carb rebuilt or replaced. Also the Kohler K341 on my garden tractor will only run on 3/4 choke, which based on experience tells me that ethanol blend gas has absorbed water vapor from air, condensed in the fuel tank, and caused internal corrosion. The cost to individuals and small businesses in the southern half of the US due to these problems is depressing. On the bright side, gas stations and fuel wholesalers in my area are scrambling to add ethanol free gas pumps. It is now convenient for me to buy e-free gas in my area. I am marking all of my small engine gas tanks with the word ethanol with a circle and a slash to remind myself never to ruin another small engine fuel system with this stuff.
