I knew the stuff can deteriorate, but i didn't know it could break
down in as little as two weeks!

That's a recent article based on old data.

While it doesn't have exactly the same shelf life has non-ethanol gas,
it hasn't produced the storage problems in a majority of situation
that were forecast.

Now, in areas where there are cold temperature extremes in the winter,
yeah - it's very possible that you will get phase seperation in
ethanol blends *due to significant warming and cooling cycles. It seem
to be a particular problem in the border states with Canada.

Then again, I havne't heard a lot of horror stories out of Canada
about it.

Tom, can you lead me to some updates on that? it's pretty interesting.

IT IS BAD here in FL. *The stuff has caused me incredible problems.
Ethanol in gas should be banned.

In fact, Monday, I will get a device to siphon my boats fuel tank to
use said fuel in my truck so it will not sit and absorb water. I had
to put in 9 gals of E10 last week cuz I could not get ethanol free
although I did add Stabil. From now on,I s'pose I will have to siphon
the tank whenever I buy E10.
