How will oxygenated fuel affect older vehicles?

0

Older vehicles, especially pre-1975 models, may have parts such as gaskets with elastomers, which are more susceptible to swelling or degradation when using alcohols and ethers in gas. These parts are also affected by other aromatic compounds added to gas in recent years because of the lead phase-out in gasoline. All of today’s gasoline, with or without oxygenates, is generally more aggressive towards fuel system materials than it was 10 to 15 years ago.
