I add the whole container to a 5 galion container. My IH Cub Cadets have a rubber line. Never had a fuel line issue.
Make sure you use Heet in the red container.

I would think that IMO; 3 issues would be most viable.
1. Temp. & effect in reducing the power in cranking in your battery. No matter what if it sits in 0-deg., power voltage is reduced in cranking.
2. Oil that is thicker than corn syrup because of freezing temp's.
3. Moisture in gas because of ethanol (?) left standing it starts condensation.

Most of the moisture comes from the air cleaner pulling in cold air into a hot engine. It is not unusal to have 1/4 to 1/2 inch of snow on the hood of my snow machines. Suck a little of that snow covered air into you engine and see how well it runs.
E-10 fuel works great if stored correctly.
