Running with Ethanol fuel

[TheTinMan]

I emailed Wellcraft this morning and already got a response.

My email:

I have a 1990 V-20 center console with a 60 gallon gas tank. The tank
is plastic or fiberglass? I know that ethanol in fuel can be harmful
to tanks made prior to 1991. Do I need to be concerned about ethanol
(10%) fuel in my tank?

Wellcrafts reply:

The tank in your boat is either Aluminum or roto cast polyethylene.
Our fuel systems are compliant with the standard for alcohol content in
gasoline of 10% which is the maximum allowed.
A number of material changes have occurred in fuel lines and gaskets
so it is prudent that you watch for softening of fuel lines or leaks
for a while after beginning use of ethanol fuels. This is no different
that the routine precautions you should be taking to inspect your fuel
system now.
