Energyplay, Please correct me if I am wrong ethanol does indeed absorb water but it absorbs it from within the fuel system and is then burnt freeing the system of moisture causing less corrosion. It's water absorption quality is actually the one good thing about it. In Northern Minnesota where we have a 10% blend it has eliminated almost all gas line freeze up problems. I still find problems with it in applications such as lawn mowers, snow blowers, and outboard motors. Because standing fuel in these items become degraded more rapidly because of the ethanol's higher evaporation characteristics, making it twice as important to use a fuel stabilizer or run such items completely dry. Take care. Steve
