In things that get regular use and smei regular use, or seasonal, I never had any real problems, well in 2010 my MTD gold snowblower had a carb issue, but resolved itself, without disassembly.
I have one string trimmer that the fuel lines all cracked.
My Stihl MS390 saw eventually fractured its fuel line meaning many little cracks and eventually failed.
My '94 ford ranger which as been sitting over the years, the fuel pump distintegrated at the pick up, well whatever the material is, it turned to a nasty tar like goop, that got the tank dropped and flushed, new fuel pump, fresh fuel treated with startron.
My '96 F150, sat since '03 though run in the yard over the years fuel pump has done the same thing, won't get to that until it cools off again.
Now some of these things have sat a long time, I would attribute age and lack of use, I don't have a clue what the deal with gasoline is over long periods of time, just know its not good.
I have cleaned a lot of carburetors and installed rebuild kits over the years some of mine mostly other peoples stuff, but most of my small engine equipment did seem to have little trouble with the ethanol gas, just what has sat a long time, gasoline must eventually go bad, unless treated and or fresh gasoline is added and you use whatever it is a little more often.

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
