Another problem is that ethanol is a solvent and dissolves the neoprene diaphragm in my Atv. It softens and warps the carburetor parts of my chain saws.

It dissolves and eats through fiberglass gas tanks too. I have a classic 71 Norton that is sitting in the shed until I find the right tank in steel. (That I can afford.)

It will also eat through your rubber gas lines. That is why I run ALL my small engines dry when I am not going to be using them for a few weeks.
