funny how everyone (who is not in the know) wants to blame every little
small engine problem on ethanol.

Makes plenty of sense if part is plastic and warped by the higher
solvent properties of ethanol in gas. I remember when ethanol was
mandated in all stations around here and they had to close down for
several days to clean out their tanks. Otherwise residues in the tanks
would have been dissolved by the ethanol containing gas and ended up
clogging car engines.
