The greatest problem with ethanol gasoline is the absorption of moisture, along with dissolving fuel lines and carb components. In my business, I have tore down carbs that would be stopped up with a brown powder residue. I feel this is caused by ethanol because I have never encountered it with non-ethanol fuel.
For those of you that cannot find ethanol free, I would suggest--STA-BIL Ethanol Fuel Treatment and Stabilizer. This stuff seems to work.
I might also suggest that you empty the fuel tank and crank and run engine until all fuel is removed from the carb, if you are not going to use the machine for a few weeks.
I purchase only ethanol free premium fuel for all my small engines and treat it with STA-BIL immediately, even if I will use it up in a few days/weeks.
