Here we have a lot of people that have problems. Mostly with small engine stuff. They own lake homes that they open in May and close in Sep. So their lawn mowers, string trimmers and outboard motors set with gas in the tank 7-9 months. For the year round folks it's mostly snow blower problems as they only get run on average 4-5 months. Ethanol laced gas start turning after 90 without treatment of some type and about 6 months with treatments. The place my wife works is a Cstore and outdoor power equipment dealer with minor car repair and tires. In the spring they are swamped with mostly carb problems. I've experienced a few myself. Sense going over to non oxygenated gas in my small engine I've had no fuel related problems. That includes 2 chain saws, push mower, walk behind string trimmer, rototiller, Z turn mower and 2 outboards. I had to replace the carb (about 5 bucks more for a new carb than a kit) on the tiller once, push mower twice, one chainsaw (BIL's fault I think) plus I was rebuilding carbs on one or the other outboard every year. Didn't have any problems with the gas tractors but I shut the fuel off, run the carb dry and drain the gas on each one every fall. I now do that with my small engines too.
