Subsidies don't fall from the sky. You pay for them on April 15. And every time you go to the supermarket, and pay more for food. Yasee, food companies are now competing with oil companies for grain.

oops, scratch the e85, I just meant ethanol in general...

From what I hear from a freind who saw it at a shop, if you cut the rubber hose, the inside the will shows the cracking process and small rubber particles loose on the surface. As if it is corroding from the inside out. Apparently this is what keeping a number of marinas alive right now, replacing plastic fuel tanks and rubber lines on boats. I have a fuel filter located right at my gas tank... believe I will atleast place a new see through filter at the carbto catch anything if I don't replace the hose. Will have to consider all other options too.
