You are exactly right! This material can never be supplied by pipe line without a complete overhaul.

It sucks up every bit of moisture around, you will have to add a water dispersal agent to your tank every time you fill up.

Use this stuff in an older car the seals, gaskets and your rubber fuel lines go south. The "in tank" fuel filter is the first thing to go as the injection system becomes clogged. Your auto shop will love this!

No logical thought has gone into what will happen..Whats new?

Total BS.

I've been burning ethanol blends in vehicles of every age and description for many years, and what you're claiming just ain't true.

Plus when gasoline is pushed thru a pipeline, different orders and /or blends are separated by a slug of water. With gasoline's Specific Gravity about 0.7 to waters 1.0 it separates out pretty fast and you get a very defined line of separation.

If I remember right, during the Peanut Man's Reign of Mess, they were selling ethanol blended gas. If I didn't put dry gas into my tank, here in Jersey, in the winter, my van would not start.

what you say applies more so to 2-stroke motors and older cars. today's cars can run fine on 10% ethanol, although 20% content effect has yet to be scientifcally determined.(although MN,in all their wisdom, has just made a gumbint mandate to do so by 2010.)
