I noticed you answered my "pun" remarks about the alcohol produced for ethanol getting side tracked.
In your answer you said that it had been available in your area for 25 years.
I have had something happen in my fuel line on my boat, which could very well have been caused in the fuel line on a tractor that has me stumped.
Between the tank and the engine I am using a grey silicon OEM Mercury fuel line with an OEM squeeze priming bulb and it is about 5' long; some vertical runs and a short length lies flat after it comes out of the tank. It is slick on both the inside and the outside, and upon examination, had not deteriorated on the inside. The tank is Crosslinked polyethylene built by Moller (spelling); apparently a figure in the business.
I recently had my fuel line plugged with somewhat soft, caramel colored particles, that had a circular back side, the same shape as the inside of my 5/16" line. They were about 1/8" square and were individual but packed most of the line.
The line is 10 years old, gets fresh gas with a little Sea Foam often enough to stay fresh. Ethanol hasn't been introduced around here till the last couple of years and I never had this problem before......but it could have been developing during that time. The inside and contents of the tank are pristine clean. The fuel outlet is covered with a fine mesh screen
Have you or any of your friends/associates had anything like that in any of your fuel lines in that 25 years of availability in your area you mentioned?

It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
