Older small engines (and for that matter older cars, antiques) had components in the fuel system from the tank to the carburetor that did not tolerate fuels with ethanol which caused corrosion or problems with rubber components. Most if not all of the newer small engines will now toloerate fuels with some level of ethanol.
