Long story short...

Spooling is right, chances are your car will be in the junkyard before ethanol is a factor. Ethanol is a polar solvent, newer rubber hoses are not the biggest problem with it. A lot of the "rubber hose issue" stems from hose technology from 30 years ago and Methanol, which is more corrosive.

Will it eat your hoses??? Sure, just replace them in every 15 years and you'll be fine.

I got dragged into many a E85 debate, but I convert gas stations to E10 or E85. So when I build, I'm planning long term-high volume use. So I argued much the same points you are. But for the average Joe... Eh, listen to Spoolin.

Boats are the real danger with Ethanol, but that's a whole 'nother subject all together.


Sounds like you have experience with it which I do not. What you are saying makes sense to me. I only know what I've read on the subject but it's nice to hear it from someone who has actual experience with it.
