Sorry, readily absorb water is the correct term I guess, not attract. If ethanol doesn't cause any of these problems, why does no outboard manufacture allow the use of E15? E10 is touted as a great fuel, but E15 isn't allowed? Or even E85? It is due to the properties of ethanol and the fact that components cant handle it.
The correct term is "bonds" with the water... There is no chemical reaction taking place but what is called hydrogen bonding...
I'm sure every manufacturer out there is putting their engines through E15 testing, and My gut would say that testing is going to take a couple of years to complete.
