When this is burnt it produces Water, Carbon Monoxide and some Lead.
If you really believe that, I must doubt the academic merits of the university named.
Unless the engine is dramatically mis-aligned, it will produce far more carbon dioxide than carbon monoxide - thanks heavens!
Even not mentioning small quantities of NOx - not a lot, but still more than carbon monoxide.

this 5% / 10% Ethanol fuel has wrecked 4 of my Fibreglass motorcycle fuel tanks, which now need to be replaced with Alloy or Steel Tanks.
Read the small print, next time. E5-E10 should only be used in vehicles - including aeroplanes - that are approved for them. But on homebuilts, nothing keeps you from coating the fuel tanks - a regular exercise on Rotax-powered ultralights.
