Yep, this guy is an idiot! Do NOT listen to him, he was over-served at the local pub when he wrote that!

On a side note. It is not the ethanol that is badly corrosive. It is the fuel additives. Since day one of E10 production I ran ethanol in my snowmobiles with stabil added for off season. This past fall I discovered that the fuel line in tank in my 2005 sled MELTED. Dealer said not the E10 that caused failure but the additives. They too are seeing past couple years fuel line failures in MCYC/ATV/Sleds. There is now a new product called Star$$$$ that should prevent the breakdown of fuel line. I bought at AutoZone.
