Here in N.Y. we have a 10% mix and have never had a single "fuel" issue with any builds we've done. The Flathead Merc in my signature has been running on it for a while now with no adverse effects, over 12,000 trouble-free miles on conventional pump-gas.

This also includes as well all the other mfr's we get to do. All the N.Y. "streeters" here run basically on the same fuel!

Seems the ethanol, corn-based fuel, doesn't react like methanol and other alcohol related fuels, with the rubber content.

Thanks, Gary in N.Y.

P.S. You can do a very simple test with any fuel by putting a short section of rubber hose in an inch of fuel in a metal coffee can and watch for a reaction. I have a conventional piece of rubber fuel line "soaking" in some straight E-85, this 85% ethanol, for a few weeks now with no change whatsoever.
