I don't know for sure if this is ethanol related, but also change the metal housing that the Racor filter screws into every few years. I recently changed my fuel lines, and I replace my Racor filter every year, but I just had a fuel issue because that metal housing corroded.
I keep a full tank over the winter and have never had any issues with the gas going bad or separating. I also treat every tankful with the green/ethanol Stabil stuff.
I also have an Evinrude e-tec. My service guy said that these engines are very forgiving of e-10. But if we go to e-15, we're screwed.
