As your vehicle sits the water in the ethanol will separate and the water will go through your engine. Also vehicles 2002 and older can’t handle that high a mix of ethanol in the gas it burns up the pistons, rings and valves. Lawnmowers, weed eaters, chainsaws, etc. and boat motors will not be able to run on the higher percentage of ethanol. Talk to any repair shop and they will tell you there has been a huge increase in small engine repair. This includes 4-wheelers too.
