depends on the blend. Ethanol is hygroscopic if the tank gets condensation inside the water will end up in the ethanol and a portion of the volume will be water.

When I lived in the bush the fuel delivered was a more stable blend because we would get one fuel barge before the river froze and the fuel had to be stable enough that it would be in good shape till spring and the next barge could get there.
