Ethanol blended fuel was in use in countries such as Mexico and Brazil LONG before it was introduced here in the U.S. The majority of the automobiles, trucks, tractors, etc. in use in those countries came from the U.S. Those same U.S. manufacturers knew that ethanol could compromise fuel lines and such that were designed for use with straight gasoline, so they developed components that WOULD hold up to both gasoline and ethanol, and THAT is what they used on ALL cars and trucks, no matter the country of destination.
