Jerry,
You had better read Bill's response more carefully. He says that he NEVER uses gasoline with ethanol.
Here in Michigan and Bill says in Florida and I'd guess coming soon in many other states, you can't buy gasoline without ethanol. I would use auto fuel if I could find it without ethanol.
I have seen a tank damaged. The damaged tank used auto fuel. I suspect that the cause of the damage was ethanol.
There is a simple test for finding out if auto fuel has ethanol. Put 10% water in a test tube. Put 90% gasoline into the tube. shake the tube up. If, when finished, the water content is more than the original 10%, the fuel contains ethanol. When the water ends up at about 15%, you are at about 10% ethanol. If you are interested in the exact amount, get a kit from

Good Luck,
Lorn

Tim,
I asked the original question because of cost and long term leaded fuel availability.

Based on Bill Harrrelson's experience, I think that I was probably worrying about nothing.
