Default alternative fuel lines

The ethanol in the gas is slowly deteriorating my black rubber fuel lines and cluttering my fuel filter and carb with black sediment from the hose. Since I can't get gas without ethanol anywhere around where I live is there an alternative fuel line that wont degrade with todays crappy gas??

Look into diesel approved fuel lines, they are designed to handle harsher fuel additives.
