Unfortunately, it can wreak havoc on many          collector cars. One of the main issues with using ethanol is          that it is hygroscopic. In other words, it absorbs water. This          water leads to condensation in fuel tanks, fuel lines, and          carburetor float bowls. The issue of water in ethanol fuel can          also cause paper fuel filters to swell and clog the system.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding:          0px 20px; line-height: 24px;\">Gasoline mixed with ethanol also          has a shorter shelf life and goes stale quickly. Finally,          ethanol is highly corrosive, and this corrosive nature and the          fact it \u201cgathers\u201d water means it helps rust to form wherever air          meets metal once submerged.
