He told me that they performed a test with 50 gallons of 10% ethanol fuel. They poured a bottle of Robitussin cough syrup in the tank and within 20 minutes, the entire 50 gallons turned to jello. Thanks Obama!!!!

Had mine changed last week. They all were split on the inside from the ethanol. Caught mine just in time! Martin Pro Outdoors has the hose in-stock, they can change them in less than 30 min.
