And the ethanol is killing the old stuff too.

So, how come I ran 10% ethanol in my '74 Dodge van, an '87 Honda Si,
and a couple stock HDs, for 10-20 yrs and never once suffered a single
fuel system related problem? Zero! Zip! Nada!

Yet when my late brother passed on and I inherited a half dozen less
than 5 yr old gas chain saws, trimmers, etc, not a single one worked
cuz the fuel systems were totally rotted out. Brittle cracked fuel
lines, rotted leaking primer bulbs, etc. I tossed 'em all for the
junk they were.
