Small engines and carbureted vehicles have fuel systems vented to atmosphere so water and condensation makes its way in due to the hydroscopic nature of it. Like an open can of brake fluid. It has its way with rubber components aswell but its not as big of a problem as some make it out to be. On a newer car forget about it they are designed for it.
