I owe my living to ethanol as a maintenance tech in an ethanol plant. Mots of the problems experienced early on with ethanol were a side affect of the process. Bacteria grow VERY well in the same ideal environment as the yeast that is used to produce ethanol. One of the things done to control bacteria and infections in the process is to lower the PH to around 4 to 4.5. The problem is that the PH of the final product was still in that range, and when it absorbed moisture from the gasoline or the atmosphere, it formed a mild form of sulfuric acid and was very corrosive to metal fuel system parts. The company I work for corrected this PH imbalance a couple of years ago in it's final product which is why you are seeing less issues from using it.
