burn your valves up if you run it to long. burns hotter It will continue to function normally. Nothing will happen to the engine. BUT- Ethanol will decrease mileage because it contains less power per molecule than gasoline. I only use it because its less expensive and helps the farmers out. Answer E10 (up to 10% ethanol) is safe and approved for most newer engines. Biggest problem is ethanol readily attracts and absorbs water, has short shelf life, is a strong solvent, degreaser, has lower energy... - Ethanol blends are not suitable for marine engines and long term storage. Higher oxygen content often requires engine modifications. See fueltestkit for more details.

Why is ethanol a greenhouse gas?
Ethanol is a liquid at normal ambient temperatures and is not a greenhouse gas. However, when ethanol is used as a fuel in a vehicle, CO2 (carbon dioxide) is emitted. CO2 is considered a greenhouse gas in that as it builds up in the atmosphere, it has the same effect as the glass roof of a greenhouse. It allows energy from the sun to enter the earth's atmosphere but prevents some of it from being re-emitted back into space. The net effect is that the temperature begins to rise, just as in a greenhouse.

What will happen to a plastic boat gas tank when you put ethanol gas in it?
I know over time that gas with ethanol will deteriorate the fuel lines on a boat, because they were not made for ethanol. I do not know, however, what would happen with a plastic boat gas tank. One would assume that if it did destroy the gas can, the government would mandate a warning of some sort. Otherwise, people could get killed.
