I haven't experienced any ethanol issues, ever. Can't say when EPA mandated we use E10, but E10 is all we have. I have a 1950 farmall C, a 1953 Ford Jubilee, and about 15 other carburated small engines, mowers, tillers generators. I keep the gas tanks full, stabil in winter. I'm 65 and I've never drained a carb in my life. I can't say I've ever experienced an ethanol or rust issue in gas tanks or carbs. I keep all my equipment stored under roof, never allow it to sit outside in the elements. In summer, I even blend my own E20 for one tractor to stop dieseling. I give the Jubilee a quart or 2 of E85 to stop it from dieseling on hot days too.
IMO, rust in gas tank is caused by water. Leave a tank empty condensation will form, water will settle to the bottom of tank and cause rust. Ethanol in winter will help prevent gas line freeze up and it will soak up the water and you will burn it. I view ethanol as my friend. I have no rust issues. I have no ethanol damage either.
I think some are using ethanol as an escape goat for other problems they have caused.
