Default Pulsator compatibility with ethanol...

I know I don't "need" it, and I know about the bypass hose thing, but does anyone know if a new replacement AC Delco Fuel Pulsator is compatible with ethanol?

I called AC Delco today, and it seemed an odd question to them. I hung up thinking they seemed uncertain of their answer, and thought I might ask here.

Really just hope to determine compatibility, and don't want this to turn into a debate on whether or not to use one. There are lots of threads on that out there, but nothing on this one.

Thanks!

I would think it is, as the original pulsator in my car functioned okay with ethanol gas for years. I did replace mine with the submersible fuel hose. No reason to put a replacement pulsator on, just go with submersible fuel line.

I guess we need to know exactly why you are trying to determine something that AC Delco can't tell you (at least, they won't put you in touch with the engineers who know for sure). Why all this trouble and risk when fuel hose that is submersible is highly available?
