I don't see anything wrong with ethanol, the only thing I see is the big oil company's not liking ethanol cutting into their profits.
Difference is I fix a lot of other peoples engines & I DO SEE A LOT OF PROBLEMS.
No conspiracy going on. it is a plain fact that ethanol CAN, UNDER THE RIGHT CONDITIONS cause problems.
I ran e10 in our fleet of delivery vehicles for over 20 years with absolutely no problems.
We ran e 10 occasionally in the RR hire cars with no problems.
However I have had problems with e10 in my chain saw which got used about once very 2 to 3 years.
Ditto for the generator,
I have problems with running strait unleaded in the vintage motorcycles, before I twigged to what was happening.
Like flodding from king tides, all of the planets need to be aligned & the earth needs to be on the right tilt.
Just because you did not get hit by the flying lead when the lunatic was shooting intto the crowd , does not mean he was not there turning your neighbours into dog food.
People like Jacks Small Engines , do not profit from customers avoiding e10, in fact they loose money because people will not need to replace clogged up & corroded parts.
Ditto for E Replacement Parts,
Ditto for Messicks.
And a host of parts retailers but they all warn to avoid using ethanol in small engines, for good reasons.
