re  "older engines are corroding inside out with E10 "

Hadrly my experience. Not a small engine, but my 41 year old Mercedes
with twin carbs , run about 3 hours a year,  does just fine.

People DO know about good fuel additives ..right ?
such as Sta-bil and Sea Foam.

It is not very possible to keep and maintain engines not used very often
without using some fuel additives now and then.

Actually, my poor old Benz wouldn't idle for beans a few years ago ..Sea
Foam fixed it nicely and easily.

When I pick up a dead or barey running vanagon ..first thing I do is
treat the fuel, whether gas or diesel.
You gotta use good fuel additives now and then ..
especially on older vehicles.
Especially if they are driven not that much.
