I have no problems with E10 in small engines, just don't store long term (months) with fuel in carbs without Stabil.
That may be so.

Got me thinking of an analogy (if this even makes sense) in the very noticeable difference between say an American light beer thats around say 4% alcohol content and an Ice beer that is 6% or close to 7% alcohol content, there is a pretty noticeable affect it has on the human body So a 5% increase in alcohol content in fuel I would say is a considerable increase, and if the fuel system was not designed to handle it???
