As I understand it the only problem with alcohol in fuel is that the O-rings and seals in the carb are not made for it and will eventually fail. Obviously, this would not be a problem if all the parts in your fuel system were made for automotive gas. Am I missing any other factors or am I correct on this?
Obviously, you will also need a fuel tank that is metal or made with a resin that is not affected by alcohol. My thinking here is that if all of the O-rings or other rubber parts in the carb could be replaced with off the shelf replacements that were alcohol resistant that we wouldn't need to care if there was alcohol in our fuel. I know that I am not the only person that has no idea if the fuel I buy at the gas station has alcohol in it or not.
