<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px">Yes, absolutely. Gasoline mixed with ethanol degrades quickly (think weeks, not months.) The ethanol causes crud to form in aluminum carbs and rots out the rubber fuel lines in small engines, especially two-strokes. The carbs on these engines MUST be drained dry after each use to prevent damage. I speak from bitter experience. :(</p>
