It's true ethanol will dry out the older non compatible neoprene. I have seen the damage. I used to have trouble with the accelerator pump wrinkling in a 76 Plymouth 318 when ethanol was run through it. Same thing in an early Ford Ranger. Those vehicles are long gone, or should be in my opinion.
However, I haven't had problems since I got rid of that Plymouth in the 80's and I run ethanol in every gasoline powered engine on the farm from 1930's tractors to a new chain saw and weed eater. I don't remember when I have replaced a cork sediment bowl gasket but it has been a long time and I have seven gas tractors with sediment bowls. Come to think of it I used to replace dried out sediment bowl gaskets more often years ago. I have two gas engines on the farm that get a gummed up carb if gas (yes, ethanol) is left in the carb, the rest stay clean as a whistle. Go figure that one out! I sure can't.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
