You can't run more than about 20% alcohol according to the manual, if  
I recall.  Damages the seals and hoses.

Also, ethanol fuel is hygroscopic like you wouldn't believe.  You  
have to use it fast, or have a very well sealed system, or you're  
going to end up with water, and hence rust the injectors, regulator,  
etc.

One of ethanol's many problems as a fuel.  Even in Brazil, the number  
of ethanol cars is dropping, and it is widely available and (I  
believe) cheaper.
