[TR] Ethanol

[WBEECH]

We have three stations in town, Abilene, Texas, that still provide
ethanol-free petrol.  I stop there whenever I can, but not exclusively.  It's
been 5300 miles since the rebuild and adding hardened seats, no problems.

The other issue I heard of, but not experienced, was the softening of the
older rubber fuel lines.  Mine are all new, 5 years ago, and have no problems.
Perhaps someone else can speak to this.
