no change in pumps or underground tanks.. fed energy program i believe requires 10% ethanol now in gasoline in future. so it would come all blended.

only problems i remember was years ago . putting it into prior non ethanol tanks would screw up your gaskets, rubber fittings if it comes in contact with ethanol. it would clean up the gunk around and you would develop leaks... also you tank in car would get a clean out and stall the first time perhaps because carb would get blocked or gas filter blocked.

i expect those days are long gone now. gggg

The biggest problem would be the changeover, the vast majority of vehicles today require gasoline unblended. So for a very long time stations would need seperate tanks and pumps but one has to start SOMEWHERE. Perhaps the govt could give tax incentives to the stations. jdn
