Default RE: Any problems with using 10% ethanol?

ORIGINAL: Hops

Hess is the only Branded stations at this time that have the 10% ethanol here in middle FL. Gas that comes out of Tampa covers from Gainesville to Ft Myers, and coast to coast. Pilot truck stops and Race Track are also using the ethanol. Some of the Unbranded stations could be using it as well, I think Sam's club andWalmart are usingalso.Most of the other terminals will start adding ethanol shortly. The ethanol has been eating away the plastic sight glasses on the trailers. As far as the separate hose deal, I guess if it makes you feel better, that is all that matters. But I don't see much of an issue. The octane rating on the pump is supposed to be the minimum rating for the particular grade.
My favorite Shell stations in the Clearwater FL area have all started selling 10% fuels. The little stickers showed up the pumps in the last couple of weeks. It's getting harder to findnon-10% so I just buy what they have.
