Because we will soon start using ethanol in my area for the first time, I asked a similar question over on the Corvette Forum a few weeks ago. The consensus reply was to look out for two problems. First, the ethanol will clean all the deposits out of old fuel tanks and lines, so fuel filters will routinely clog up until all the deposits are removed. Second, some thinner rubber pieces such as those in some mechanical fuel pumps, will give out. Going to higher quality pieces seems to be solution. ... Those who have been living with ethanol laced fuel for a while say it is no problem after the transition issues are solved. .... I have no personal experience with ethanol. The opinions expressed above are a summary of those expressed by others.
