Has anyone used this before?

Is this a potential "fix" for the Ethanol problem or just another cash grab?
FLHTrider there are some stabilizers that advertise they help neutralize issuses associated with ethanol fuels. But I kinda get that they are talking only about the fact that the ethanol mixes more readily with water (moisture) than gas and causes the fuel to become unstable and less functional.
I don't really see how it could keep the ethanol from deteriorating the fuel lines. I think best to just get alcohol resistant lines from aircraft companies OR from another link. I've only been able to find one so far, but hopefully I can find some local.
I've read that if you run the gas out of the tank on a regular basis then the lines do not detoriate as bad. Not sure I follow this since the new feul you put in has the same ethanol in it. But maybe as it sits a chemical reaction takes place as the feul begins to slowly degenerate. Again all of this sounds somewhat incredulous to me since the fuel has already been sitting in storage long before it ever reached your tank. But admittedly I'm not a chemist. I suspect many OEM products are putting ethanol resistant lines in already but my old chain saw (and my lawn mower shop) have not gotten with the picture. Amazingly my lawn mower shop is selling ethanol free fuel in half gallon cans for $9 bucks. I don't know who would be buying that (certainly not me) but they have it for sale. LOL
