[6pack] 10% ethanol discussion

[michael lunsford]

FWIW (probably not much) I have been trying to avoid gasoline with even10% ethanol.  Here in Florida there are still a few stations, Mobil comes to mind, that don't have the 10% ethanol label on them.  I have noticed that both Hess (the nearest station) and Shell now have 10% ethanol.  As several people have mentioned, I am concerned about the possibility of deteriorating rubber and plastic in the carbs, the plastic float on the fuel gauge sending unit as well as the rubber fuel supply line I added during my TBI conversion.  I am also concerned that the alcohol in the gasoline will attract water while in the tank (hydro-something or other), especially during long storage periods.
