its actually a fairly easy answer,alcohol is a median between gas and water, this allows water to mix with gas, the problem is ethanol ie alcohol absorbs water, its so bad about this that it will absorb water from air and lucky us that we live in alabama with very high humidity. so if you leave a tank with ethanol for a period of time, basically you end up with water in the fuel, and the reason cars are not as much of a prob is because we use them more often and pass the water thru the system, where as a boat may sit for months between runs.
