They don't rid the gas of ethanol but help in combatting its effects. I may not always use the stuff because I'm refueling every week, so there is not enough time for the ethanol to evaporate. Winter storage though is imperative. Some folks just open the fuel cap to alleviate any pressure that might build up. Use the bike often enough to not have to worry so much. 8)
Surely the tank breather would allow any such pressure to escape...?
One would think. I've heard of this happening to the Ducati's long before I purchased my Norton. I've also heard the problem was addressed and corrected with the Ducs as well as being told same with Norton before I purchased my 2013. I haven't had the problem nor have most owners so I can't really have an opinion to share.
