Good point!  I have a car with a turbo and a home brew water injection
system.  We inject home brew, I mean water/alcohol mix to keep it from
knocking at high boost levels.  There was a steel fitting in the tank and
it
needed to be replaced every year or so.   (Methol alcohol seemed to be
much
more active than isopropal alcohol was.)
