Out of all these links/videos, not even 1 pic or video showing any damage.
One guy even has a carb apart poking his screwdriver around in it, showing where the damage take place, only trouble it, there wasn't any, it was spotlessly clean.
It mite have been the same guy that says that e10 seperates the oil from the gas in a 2 stroke so that the engine starves for oil and blows up 1/2 way thru its 2nd season. How stupidly rediculous is that ? But yet not even so much as one pic showing anything.
And then there is the subject of e10 damage to small engines. Really now,.....does e10 know how big my engine is ? And where does e10 draw the line ?? Is my Savage  a small engine or just a part of a big engine ?

I guess I didnt wait long enough,, the Gakk in the bottom of my carb bowl was green & Eaux My Gawd did it stank!

Jog, send me some pics of the Ka Ka left by e10. I've been askin for even 1 pic for 2 yrs now, still haven't seen one.  


Routy: Although I usually agree with the opinions you post - the subject of ethanol fuel is one where you and I strongly disagree. I understand that you have not had any ethanol related problems....and that is great. It generally is not a problem for equipment that is used regularly, and the positive results you are having with your long term fuel test in your tiller may be a result of your 2 cycle oil containing a fuel stabilizer......or some other circumstance that makes you immune.

Your situation is not universally accepted, and my own experience has proven that equipment that sits idle for extended periods with ethanol fuel in the tanks and carbs can be damaged.  The ethanol absorbs moisture, rusts fuel tanks, dissolves rubber and corrodes aluminum.

Ethanol can be a problem for the rest of the world, and is well documented:
