I know some folks never have a problem with ethanol fuels, but I know a lot more that do. I've had to replace everything from the filter to the jug on numerous chainsaws and weedeaters. I've seen plastic parts "melt" or swell to the point that a set of Channel Locks were required to get a gas cap off. Stabil has been a dismal failure for me and I will not use again even if it's gifted to me. The various snake oils like Startron I'm still deciding on. I can't say do or don't work so far.

I suppose if you're one of those people that mixes a gallon of fresh gas every few days, runs the machine dry, never leaves fuel in a tank for long periods and meticulously maintains your equipment then ethanol isn't a problem. For the rest of us in the real world, problems occur.
