I think how well ethanol works for you or doesn't work is very conditional. It is not one size fits all. As mentioned below evaporation and moisture are the killers.
An old tractor kept outside in the sun during the summer will have problems. Non sealed gas tank warms up during the day, low level volatiles evaporate and escape from the tank. At night the tank cools down and pulls in humid air and moisture condenses out. Repeat day after day. After a few weeks you have the heavy compounds of gas left and lots of moisture.

If the tank is sealed like a modern car then problems also go away. Tank is also under the car and less susceptible to heating up in the sun.
