Message	ethanol is. I don't know if it has been tested. Old stock fuel lines were made before ethanol was introduced into gasoline on a mass scale. Info I pulled of the web. Blends above 10% are likely to cause problems in vehicles not designed for alcohol. These problems include delamination (chemical breakdown) of rubber, plastic, and synthetic components such as; rubber, plastic, and synthetic hoses, fuel lines, plastic fuel pumps, plastic fuel tanks, fiberglass fuel tanks, fuel tanks that are epoxy coated, or with rubberized, or plasticized liners, and aluminum, copper, brass, or bronze fuel system and injection system components. Special plastics, corrosion resistant stainless steel and other more expensive components must be used in any component that touches fuel containing alcohol. This is the same reason that ethanol kills early style injectors. "Speed costs money. How fast can you afford to go". -DarkZide
