Bob, I never asked for details, perhaps It would have been wise on my part to have done so. I'm sure someone with more knowledge can let us know.
A friend that owned a gas station said he had troubles with some of his pumps, that was later blamed on ethnol. But how can anyone be sure of such statments of blame.
Small engine dealers have stated that their companies are very quick to recomend THEIR OIL, but most assume it has to do with following the money making trail.
On the other hand I know of contractors, and farmers, as well as friends that say they mix one can with so much gas---and use it as universal 2 cycle oil. AND then ask to borrow my equipment. I usualy furnish the gas and gas can so I know the correct mix, and a clean can is handy for them. The expense of some of this stuff for construction is kinda out of control for prices. Most folks have no idea of the replacment cost.
I have been told from different sorces in the past from my best recolection is that it will break plastic down, even in a gas can made before a certian date. Rubber is another thing that I have heard about.
I have had issues with rubber gas lines, but I always assumed it was because of old age.
I seem to be gifted when it comes to having things like small engines etc giving problems. That can be a managment issue, with lots of hired help, and lending out equipment. I never have the heart to say no to anyone, even though it is usualy borrowed so they can avoid hiring me for the job. The borrowing is bad enough, but usualy they make a coment as to how much stuff I have, and sometimes referd to as junk. But they sure know where to borrow the junk the next time. That is just small town I guess.
