I got really lucky. There is an ethanol free station 4 miles from my home. Ginny's Fuel on Hwy 301 in Dade City, Florida. Right next to Sunray Beetles....the used to be VW graveyard. Unfortunately. the county shut the business down stating it was not zoned as a junkyard!!!! How could they plow down so much history. I never went there and not found what I needed. Bureaucratic BS!!!!! Hopefully Corky,the owner who is in his late 70's, will open back up for business. Angie In a message dated 2/21/2012 8:49:51 A.M.

Thanks. I am getting some ethanol resistant line at least for the under car components. I may still use the braided in the engine compartment for show as it is much easier to switch those out if they degrade.
