Fact ethanol absorbs water from the air and with contact.
Fact ALL fuel stations have water in the bottom of the tanks. The pickup for fuel in these tanks are not at the bottom, so unless the water isn’t monitored and comes up too high it not a problem. Straight petrol floats on water and doesn’t mix or absorb water.
On the other hand any ethanol mix will come into direct contact with water at all fuel stations, a fact.
So straight away your running a small % of absorbed water through your cars which will effect some parts such a fuel injectors over time.
