I'm not a chemist chemist nor a very mechanical person. I believe that long term storage of gasoline is not good for any engine regardless of ethanol or not, but is worse with ethanol because of its attraction of water. IIRC, even ethanol free gasoline will turn to varnish or a varnish like substance after enough time. From m Goldwing forum friends, also IIRC, they use something called "seafoam" in their gas tanks for winter storage of their bikes when they won't be able to ride for several months. Since I ride year round with only a 2-3 week hiatus during the worst of weather in the "winter" here in Texas I didn't bother reading up on its use.
