Jim,

I guarrantee you if your running Ethanol in your fuel, that it's there. I added another link for precautions to take, but usually before long it will damage carburators and turn fuel lines into black goo that are not design to take ethanol.

It's all just a matter of time before it happens. Shelf life is the biggest problem before everything separates within the fuel. Depending on your pick ups in your tank maybe one thing for the reason you have not notice it yet or either you have not run your tanks down low enough yet.

Just like BIO-DIESEL will damage a diesel engine also.
