I have been building and running old cars for decades. I have never once, not a single time, had any engine or component fail due to ethanol. I know some of the pre-1980's cars did have some rubber lines go bad and ethanol was the likely suspect, but not confirmed. But this did not ruin the engine.

I have also seen a sunken float a time or two. However, again, Ethanol was the suspect but not confirmed.

Purdy - my comment was not a snipe at you. It is a commonly held misconception that Ethanol will ruin your engine. This is simply not the case. It will cause your engine to run a little lean and if you don't do maintenance like cleaning, examining, and gapping your plugs, you could in time burn a valve or a hole in the top of a piston. This is not the Ethanol's fault, it is the owner's for not doing their maintenance properly.

Now, that being said, I would love it if we could get real gas back again and get rid of the watered down crap we have to run these days.
