What detrimental effects does ethanol have on vehicles powered by carburetors? I know that it can be damaging to the soft parts that aren't ethanol compatible.
Is ethanol damaging to carburetors made from zinc or aluminum? I know that ethanol is hydroscopic, so I am not sure how it would affect either material? I have heard some sources saying E10 has no effect and others saying it can cause the materals to break down.
