I'm actually paying less for real gas in SC! When I run Ethanol in my 2003 M3 my indicator lights come on saying take the car in for service. If I run a tankful of real gas light goes off and car runs better. I have a frind with a 2002 BMW 525 that has had simalr experience.

NICE PAIR,
I really don't know the time frame...But, If I were in that situation, I wouldn't wait to find out later that everything has to be repaired tanks and all...If you have been using ETHANOL at some point..I would Just go ahead an have them done ahead of time to avoid the headaches...Just thinking ahead...

CHECK THE FUEL FILTERS ,if you have a problem there will be finernail size flakes in the filter... if by chance they are leaking you'll know it ....

One big exeption to this is if your tank or boat was built with Vinylester resin , this is fact not fiction which I have always been aware of . Before I bought my 1988 32 Kevlar / Vinylester I had an indepth conversation with the man ( Peter ) and he confirmed that Epoxy and General resin tanks have to be addressed , NOT VINLYESTER . Just trying to help
