My family drives 3 cars, one is 10 years old. We have used E10 for about 8 years (mandated back then by a Republican controlled state government) and I have never, ever had a problem related to the fuel line of any kind or any other issue that might possibly be related to the fuel. I know this because none of the cars have required any repairs (except for when I got rear ended by a bunch of illegal Mexicans or a rock hits the windshield, etc. ) or early replacement of filters, etc.
And, speaking of water, I also fly a small plane that normally uses 100 octane gasoline. (Occaisonally if I can find it I can use regular premium car gasoline that does not have ethanol added.) One thing we have to do before taking off is to check and see if there is any water in the fuel tanks. Usually there isn’t, but occaisonally there is. And that is in 100 octane gasoline or non ethanol car gas.
I do not like the idea of gov’t mandating what type of fuel we use but my personal experience with my cars after long term use is that E10 does not cause any engine or other mechanical problems.
I reckon we’ve just had really lousy luck.
The water you drain out of your aircraft fuel tanks is FRom condensation.
Totally separate issue having nothing to do with this discussion.
As for ethanol vs. ethanol FRee gasoline, both my 1990 Airstream (454 Chevvy) and my 1991 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham get roughly 10-15% better mileage when I use ethanol FRee gasoline. Furthermore, the generator in my MH will not run on that ethanol shit!
