Sorry, no data just real world experience. I lost two small engines long ago, probably could have fixed them with carbs. Even in CA any marina should have non ethanol. I did that for along time before buying a tank. The 8 small motors or so sitting here start just fine after sitting. Then you get into diesel, have that tank too. Don't use that much so I put biocide and additive in that. Yes, there is a bacteria that can live in diesel. At a guess due to the 5% bio that is federally required.

Here's my 2c - if the motor is being used regularly ethanol should be OK. If it's going to sit don't use it. Speaking of I need to order more. That's a fun bill to get.
