I'll give you my 2 cents. There are lots of people across the nation that use ethanol fuel mixes in small engines, both 2 and 4 stroke, and never have any issues. There are also lots of people across the nation that have found they had all sorts of problems in 2 and 4 stroke small engine, and some larger engines, that were directly related to ethanol use. I'm one of the latter group. I've stood in waste deep snow changing a fuel line that never gave a moments problem until I put ethanol in it. I've cleaned countless carbs and had to toss a few that never had a problem until an ethanol fuel was used. You can go to pretty much any forum or manufacturers website or look in the owners manual of a small engine and find ethanol warnings. It is a real problem. That still doesn't mean that just using ethanol once will ruin anything, but over time you stand a good chance of having increased issues. If you use the ethanol fuel blends I get locally, I guarantee you will have problems in a short time in small air cooled engines.
