[QUOTE="maintenanceguy, post: 482221, member: 24227"] Ethanol will degrade plastic/rubber parts that aren't ethanol resistant. Since it's been part of gasoline for 20+ years, modern equipment should work fine with ethanol gas. Old, old equipment can have fuel hoses, pump diaphragms, etc damaged. I don't believe it will contribute to clogged carbs. This is from leaving fuel in the carburetor and letting it evaporate away. A sticky varnish is left behind. To prevent this, shut off or disconnect the fuel line from the carb and run the motor until it dies. The carb will now be empty. [/QUOTE]
