OK then. The ethanol doesn’t destroy engines. It destroys fuel lines and fittings in old engines. Also, if you don’t run the engine often, like mowers, boats etc. even new ones, the fuel will phase separate and the gunk that sinks to the bottom of your fuel tank will clog up fuel filters, injectors etc.
Why would you want to burn food anyway? Quit subsidizing ethanol and let it stand, or not, on it’s own “merits” or lack or merit.
All of those condensate concerns were addressed by my comment that the fuel must be kept clean and dry.
If you’re running an engine made in this century, you don’t have to worry about hoses, gaskets, seals, etc.. None of those are neoprene anymore.
I have not commented on whether anyone should burn ethanol or not. I’ve confined myself to rebutting the “ethanol eats engines” argument.
