Bill, I've been running the 10% ethanol mix in a '72 Midget for at least 8 years, and have had no fuel related problems whatsoever that I could attribute to the gasoline used. As a matter of fact, the only fuel system problem I've had was a leaking fuel pump, shortly after I put the car back on the road. It had been sitting for 13 years, and the seals at the pump fittings had dried out.
The fuel system is entirely stock.
Jeff
