In case you don't remember, regular gas can destroy diaphragms, too. Most diaphragms go bad because of one of two things: either they are old or were improperly installed. As far as ethanol absorbing moisture it is true but only to a point. It only absorbs what is already in the gas. Remember using "Heet" or some such other product to keep your fuel lines from freezing in the winter time? That is nothing but METHANOL which is MUCH more harmful than ethanol will ever be.

No problems whatsoever in 35 years. NONE. In fact, I have LESS fuel problems now. Mike
