Well yeah, OK sure. So says the site that sells test kits for alcohol. But you notice that it is primarily warnings for marine equipment, and a warning about E15 and above for other machinery. And how do we know how long ago some of those warnings were published? For example, I downloaded the user guide for the Ariens EZR Zero Turn mower just now and there are no warnings, no cautions, no nothing listed about E10 whatsoever. So is this for an older model or is it made up? Who knows?
I'm no fan of the use of alcohol in fuel (there is no economically justifiable reason to use it, nor is there an environmental one either) but using a website that sells test kits as proof is a little sensational.
I was talking mostly about marine engines and really what if the warning are older, i guess no one own a older piece of lawn equipment?
The site information about it turning acidic is correct, thats important, the rest of it may well be fluff.
