10% melts fuel lines. New fuel lines will melt and clog your carbs in 
about 10 miles.
Ask me how I know. But if you get decent fuel lines that withstand the 
Ethanol, you will not have any problems.
German made fuel line works fine. Pep boys stuff melts.
Other than that, we have no rubber carb parts to worry about in SUs.
