The regulation of fuel quality, and on pump notifications is far too loose IMHO. In Ohio there is no requirement to post weather or not the fuel you're buying has Ethanol in it, let alone how much it has. A friend of mine bought a test kit, and we found most of the local pumps we use, had around 6% ethanol. However there was a couple that were around 11% to 12%
Phase separation is not really a concern if you store fuel in a proper can, in a somewhat stable environment. IMHO it's the Sodium sulfate "which is corrosive" and how alcohol attacks rubber and plastic.
Luckily a local family owned fuel company started offering non ethanol fuel a few months ago.
