Andy, I've been following this issue for many years. I've come to the conclusion that there just can't be that many liars and idiots out there, and that most of the people reporting problems/no problems with ethanol bearing fuels are being completely honest. I think for those of us that have problems, and I'm one of them, it may be related to the specific blends or fuel we get locally, the age of the equipment and any possible updates to fuel lines, gaskets, etc. and how often the fuel is cycled through. I've done the test with the sealed jar of E10 mix and I've seen the separation and color change. I've done the tests with the jar with air holes mimicking a gas tank vent and seen the varnish form. I've certainly seen the problems with older equipment and how the problem is solved by switching back to non-ethanol fuel. But it may just be the specific blends in my area causing the issue. Maybe it's the dealers tanks and what they add or don't add to them, I don't know. But there are too many people giving anecdotal evidence in both directions to believe it's all mass hypnosis or a conspiracy of liars either way.
