I made no direct mention of the shelf life of Ethanol laced fuels, but we do know that there is a potential for phase separation due to the non-isomorphic lattice structure of methyl and ethyl compounds.
The fact is, there is strong and a large historical body of evidence of damage to fuel systems which were not intended for Ethyls.
For those interested in empirical tests, take any automotive rubber product and immerse half of it in non-Eth gas for a day, then immerse the other half in E10 for a day. You will believe what you see.
Legacy Aviation fuel systems are absolutely restricted from using any Ethanol. I've personally seen the damage done to boat tanks, fuel lines, and aircraft fuel carbs from Ethanol.
Ethanol is not a bad fuel. It can be a very good fuel, but the costs, and avoided food costs, and costs of production have to be taken into account.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
