Ethanol is alcohol and alcohol attracts moisture! This is why fuel with ethanol breaks down faster than fuel with out.

I have one station by me that sells pure gas and he tells me that as of Jan, 1, 2011 a Federal mandate will require Ethanol in all gas.

If your tanks are portable I would say remove them, empty them and store them in a controlled temperature environment. I winterize all my 2 cycle engines by fogging them before storing and have had good luck so far. I don't have any fuel injected seasonal engines and would follow advice of the manufacturers on them.

Fiberglass tanks and many of the older plastic tanks can be affected by the ethanol as well as many of the older types of fuel lines and systems with rubber O rings.

I highly prefer to eat my corn or feed it to the livestock rather than to burn it in my fuel tanks! Just my personal opinion here but I feel we have been sold a bill of goods with ethanol and I have seen no honest benefit with it at all. I want my real gas back.
