Man, I'm hearing these ethanol horror stories all over the country!
Every vintage/collector car board where I'm a member is crying about their carbs, fuel pumps, etc.
I have a '77 Cheyenne that I use as my daily driver. I've been chasing a fuel problem for two years. Carb overhaul, new fuel pump, all new rubber hoses front and rear, new sending units and socks in both tanks, etc., etc., etc. It eats fuel pumps. They only last 2 to 3 months. I'm sure the corn hole fuel is devouring them.
I love my truck but it's gotten to the point where I don't stray very far from home with it. Too many times towed back home.
I know there is a phone app and a web site for ethanol free gas "Pure gas.org." which will show you were to buy, but there are none located anywhere near me.

It's not just the ethanol that is a problem. Xylene and toluene are also added to unleaded gas to up the octane that used to be raised with lead. Both are very strong solvents and could be what ate the foam and fiberglass spoken of in this thread.

It was a federal regulation that makes all US gas have the ethanol in it. There are one or two stations that sell pure 87 octane gas here. Don't know if places that have boats have ethanol free gas for sale. Lou.
