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.
