Your state was far behind many others with the introduction of ethanol or other additives. California went through the first round of rotting rubber in carbs and fuel lines back in the late 80's. Don't know what the chemical that did it was named then but there was another round of fuel system failures when ethanol was mixed in. MTBE was still in use at the time in conjunction with the ethanol. People here haven't had many issues since the change in fuel mixtures after the elimination of MTBE. Then again, most of the older vehicles likely burned long before now....

In any case, it's been a few years since there have been any issues.
