NJWardy,
I've seen all sorts of problems arise because of E-10. Most of them have been with older boats and engines that have run with MTBE fuels. They have left a coating of brown that the E-10 (solvent) has loosened and created gunk blockages. Not many have been water related. On the smaller engines, I have seen some water accumulation My lawn and garden equipment have had some. Fortunately my personal engines have not had any problems because they are not that old. I wish I could carry down my fuel but it holds 210 gals. I do use a fuel stabilizer and Startron on a regular basis.

With the portable tanks that I mentioned previously, I guess the E-10 has caused the pickup tube to swell and drop off.
