So how exactly does the stabiliser stabilise the ethanol

Hi, as far as I can tell from using it the stabiliser it protects engine parts from gumming and corrosion but doesn't seem to prevent water building up in tanks.

I certainly come across more fuel associated damage than I used to but I'm no scientist so I can only learn by reading and experience, I'm afraid this is a classic case of internet confusion with one view contradicting the other depending on self interest.

You can google the problem for endless confusion....but I suppose the good thing is that as far as saws are concerned, they hold very little fuel and it's used very quickly so the water problem is minimal... to me the main advantage of treating the fuel is to try to prevent or delay the degradation of pipes, hoses and seals etc which are the most usual reason for saw failure { as this is a chainsaw forum } but any petrol engine will be at risk and the bigger the tank, the more water.

 

This wee vid explains,.. although it's slightly disturbing that although this is all over the US in this country the authorities prefer that " as is normal here ", we're kept in the dark....what as surprise.

 

And by the way, I'm one of those that have made a lot of money out of the ethanol problem, cheers.
