Not only food, the destruction ethanol has caused engines is unbelievable. I remember when people were just throwing away their old Briggs and Stratton engines thinking they were old and failed. Never knowing that the new ethanol fuel was eating up the carburetor "O" rings. Perfectly good engines destroyed by Ethanol. They would have lasted many more years if not for Ethanol. Small engines are still being damaged as ethanol fuel has a 4 month shelf life and it pull moisture from the air around it and suspends the water in the fuel. Straight gas has a 4 year shelf life.
