Do you mean Methanol?

I have had some bad luck with Ethanol. I ran it in my 700 Maxiun motorcycle.It ate away all the rubber o-rings and seals in the fuel system. From the petcock through all 4 carbs. From what I was told it will dry out rubber in time. So if you ran it every once in a while you would be ok, but I would not run it all the time. I will run it if I am on the trail and nothing else is available.
