It destroys aircraft engines as well, and the problem is going to get even worse when an even more percentage of ethanol is dictated.

Homebuilts with certain resin type(s) / fiberglass tanks have already had either emergency landings or percautionary landings because of it. It attacked the resin, made a gum, and clogged up the works. I know 2 individuals that it happened too.

(The ethanol) had crystallized and crumbled and had clogged my fuel line,

The GovTards jacked up most of the portable kerosene space heaters in the US by forcing the switch to ultra-low sulfur K-1. Seems that the ultra-low sulfur stuff attracts water more readily than the old stuff.
This causes the cotton wicks to lose their necessary capillary action much quicker than they used to. People will store a heater with a half-full tank, go to light it next season, and it will be unusable.
Thanks, Busy-Body GovTards!!!
