I totally agree with Mike.

It affects more modern machines too, with plastic fuel tanks.
I have a Triumph 955i which I only use ethanol free petrol in, otherwise it would end up looking like this

And that is at the current 5%

A friend of mine has a lovely Bimota, that is until the tank was attacked by ethanol causing it to swell up and split the paint.

Horrible stuff!
