Ethanol Question?

I gotten into gas over the past year and now have over half my fleet running off it. I have heard that Ethanol can hurt the lines and carbs. Do gas stations have to say if the gas has Ethanol in it. I try to buy at stations that do not state this, but is it a law for them to have to tell us.

Don't know if it's a law or not. I do know that here in Illinois, all gas has 10% in it now. 2 years ago that wasn't the case. BP/Amoco's gas didn't use to have ethanol in it. Now it does. Habeeb used to brag that his gas didn't have alky in it. I use it for the 93 ocatane and haven't had a problem since it went over to the alky blend.

Wisconsin, same thing. A few years ago you could still find gas that wasn't E10. then, only the lower 2 grades were E10, now all grades.
