<div class="moz-cite-prefix">In Europe there was often a substantial
amount of ethanol in post war petrol wel into the '60's. Petrol
was not of the best quality and ethanol was used as an octane
booster. Not many problems at the time.<br>

<div class="gmail_default">Your note has raised a very
interesting question. <br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default">Have you had any experience with
original Petroflex hoses failing due to ethanol?<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default">We have been subjected to ethanol for
many years now and I cannot recall even one incidence of a
Petroflex failure that I could attribute to it.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">My own 100 has an original
<div class="gmail_default"> NOS</div>
Smiths Petroflex hose joining the main fuel line to the carb
fuel pipe and although it has only been on the road for 2
years since restoration I have not seen any signs of failure
and the hose is still very flexible.<br>
<div class="gmail_default">I do know that if you subject a
Petroflex hose to "Varsol" cleaning fluid it deteriorates
rapidly and that should definitely be avoided at all costs.<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default">Would appreciate your thoughts.<br>
