Well I do, I was an auto mechanic with gas started being laced with

Oh, I saw the results. What I meant was that I do not remember what it was in
those hoses and such that was affected by exposure to alcohol.

One of my friends was a line mechanic for an Oldmobile dealer. His stories were
similar to yours. I happened to own a Ford during that period, and my only
problems involved hoses in the fuel system. Our other car was an Opel, but it
would only run on Amoco high test, so we never had an alcohol-related problem
with it.
