I've seen many ethanol problems with both rubber parts and mechanical issues... it's not a huge deal in the latest automotive applications, but can be bad in newer boats; it's definitely bad in older boats and cars, not to mention most small motors you may own such as generators, lawn mowers, weed eaters, chain saws, blowers, etc..... The chemistry and physics of such is all well documented, and I have a few chemical engineers in my immediate family who would be happy to give you the Sheldon Cooper analogy on ethanol evils.
