You have to look at anything the fuel comes in contact with and determine if it's alcohol resistant. Some fuelpumps apparently are not, some flexible fuel hoses etc...

Don't really expect problems from injectors, but alcohol fuels lubricate less so in theory the wouldn't last as long...

Ok so basically only some plastics and fuel lines will suffer. I guess I will use parts that allow for alcohol when I build my system.
