I feel the article explained the water problem very well. Like others have, I have used Ethanol blend gasoline since it was introduced here. Only problem I have ever seen is hardening of hoses, tough on some plastic parts etc. It will clean out a dirty tank also, but I changed filters on a Datsun with over 130K miles, that had never seen Ethanol for first 100K and the filter was clean as new. I have it in my tractors that stand around 99.9% of the time with no more problems than any gasoline. My old tractors had considerable rust in tank from standing for 15 plus years and no real problems, cleaned sediment bowl a couple times. I had tried to clean them out good before putting them back on but you know you cannot get all rust out. No treatments. The whole deal of gasoline storage is really NO different with ethanol than any gasoline. Hot weather, it evaporates, cool weather it remains stable. I have set jars of different blends of gasoline out in hot sun, some with stabilizer, some with out. I could not tell any difference. All got rotten real quick. If you don't like it, don't use it if you can avoid it. I'll keep using it.
