I know I had to use Non Ethanol Gas or be working on the Carburetors.

Got pretty good tearing them down after selling the Boat they thought they could use the cheaper gas. Then it wouldn't run.

I don't think that's true any more, all common  engines have been designed around ethanol at least since 2007 and most carb kits are too. It's also apparent that whatever they put in the non-ethanol gas (it ain't Tetraethyllead)   separates/deteriorates  just as fast as the ethanol does. The key is use all your gas every month, month old gas is starting to rot. All unleaded gas sucks in carbs and engines built for leaded gas, but  that's been being phased out since the mid '80s and engines/carburetors have been designed for unleaded gas since  the '90s. Yes there was a time when two-cycle oil (16/1 mix of  Phillips 66 Unique)  didn't work well with ethanol, but I haven't had that problem in over a decade, we get better oil now and use less of it.

The only issue I see with ethanol blended fuel is that it has an expiration date.   

After 10 weeks it has noticably degraded, and motors will not perform well on it.  Even if kept in a sealed container. 

 In vented tanks I'd say about half that amount of time.

Well won't change my mind use Non Ethanol gas in all small engines and never a problem. 

Use other gas whatever last one season. 

I spend $1,000 having my Carburetors cleaned i fix my problem and go.

Had Chain Saw wore it out in 15 years and it was used when I bought it. 

Actually that is the thing I were out stuff with no problem.

Do you test each purchase to be sure it's ethanol free?

Get it from the same place if I  have a Carburetor stopped up because of Ethanol Gas going to do some talking.
