On second thought, I think we are already using 15% here in Phoenix. It hasn't affected my outboard motor yet, but then I run all the gas out of it when trailering the boat. My GMC has all new fuel lines, and a reman carb that I *Hope* has upgraded rubber where applicable.
It has affected my new Toro Lawnmower. I rarely use it, but when the yard guys failed to show up last week, I pulled it out to mow and low and behold, no start. New fuel, fuel to the carb, fuel in the float bowl, but no joy. Starts when I squirt gas in to the carb, but then dies. Killed the little battery trying to start it. At least It has electric start. The damn thing has only been sitting for about 3 months, maybe less. In the winter, I mow in between the yard guys every two weeks, but it sits in the summer largely unused.
They should give us two types of fuel, "Regular" and "Blended" and give us a special shaped filler nozzle and allow us to retrofit older vehicles. That would be like the old Leaded and Unleaded days.
