There was a great article in the latest Outdoor Life regarding this new ethanol induced gasoline. It seems that after a few weeks, especially in the colder weather, the ethanol seperates from the gasoline, and then starts to gunk up. The question in the magazine was for marine engines, but holds true on any gasoline engine. Point is to use Stabil or similar product in all gasoline tanks or you may experience somr unpleasant results.

Here's a similar article from the Houston Chronicle from June 5, 2008. It sure opened my eyes about E-10 fuel. I still carry the article around for my boating neighbors. Chron.com | Chemistry not quite right

just my .02 cents worth
