On my way back or to Vegas this past weekend, I was reading about Porsche and ETOH additive in gas. The "expert" wrote something about how it makes water form in the gas tank and how porsche says in thier manual that the car should never be run past 1/8 of a tank because it will suck up the water and hydrlock the motor.

I can not find the magazine so can someone explain to me what they are saying and if it is true.

All gas in the Austin TX area has 10% ETOH.
