Jon, as Ross has advised, Marvel Mystery Oil is your only option to help minimize the damage caused by ethanol. 4 ounces in your gas tank at fillup will be good news for the following components and more:

fuel tank cap gasket
fuel gauge sender
fuel tank
fuel pickup tube
fuel line
fuel flex line
fuel pump diaphram
fuel pump gaskets
fuel pump valves
carburetor float valve
carburetor jets
carburetor power valve
carburetor pump valve

MMO is an aid for these systems directly by helping to protect from damage, and indirectly in the prevention of clogging by rust particles dislodged elsewhere in the fuel system. There are replacement parts engineered with materials that resist the damage caused by ethanol, and there are fuel filters to aid in the removal of rust particles, but nothing you can do would produce more positive effects than to get rid of the politicians that brought ethanol to your car.
