my theory, it is not the alcohol in the gas
it is the water the alcohol collects
then the alcohol evaporates over time leaving behind the water
and the water corrodes the system

as most of the problems are not quick
but if the ''gas'' is left in the tank for awhile

I note mixed 2stroke fuel has a bigger quicker problem
as near every time I used a small outboard
I had to pull the carb bowl and drain the water out

any turbo guys run E85 ?
does more alcohol cause more corrosion ?
