Why not? ethanol is the worst thing to happen to internal combustion engines - especially those with a carb! Further, the mandate for its use is nothing but political, as research and just plain reality play out that it does nothing to help the environment (and indeed results in LOWER efficiency) - so its basically an ugly scam...
But - that being said, one can use some the ethanol fuel stabilizers and at least mostly mitigate any further damage. But yes, rubber is particularly damaged by alcohols.
