Vince, have you changed out rubber fuel parts to PTFE?
 
Yes, I upgrade the rubber lines in my fuel system.  Even though I avouid the ethanol fuel, the old rubber needed to be replaced anyway.  I am running a modern carb, so I didn't do anything to it.

Does all the fuel in your area have ethanol in it?  I know in my location, just regular has 10% but lots of stations have no ethanol in their premium fuel (like Shell).  So, I have been running ethonal free in my Torino for years. 
 
Otherwise, like Rock said above, you just need to upgrade to the modern PTFE rubber, which is probably a good idea regardless.

I use 1oz for every 5 gallons; all year long. Not just as a stabilizer.

Thanks. I have work to do in a couple of weeks with any luck, I'm hoping it is already done. I will look for a Holley to rebuild then replace the motorcraft when the hoses get done.

replace the old school rubber with modern PTFE type


many rubber components are not available in PTFE so it might be a good idea to stock up

I wasn't sure where to post this topic but figured it would be safe in the basement.

I currently drive a flex fuel pickup and don't worry about methanol added to the pump gas.

I will be concerned once I have a car in the driveway. Anyone have suggestions as to finding ways to keep the stuff from eating the rubber parts?
