you can run 10% ethanol without any problems. we can but this at the pump here in Iowa & many other parts of the USA. we,also, buy an E-85 blend of ethanol(85% ethanol - 15% gasoline) from the pump for use in street engines with a modified carb. or injection systems(some factory vehicles come with a flex fuel option). ethanol is a corn or other plant material type of alcohol.

here's some more info.
try looking at these websites
quickfueltechnology.com --- e85 carbs & conversion kits
classicmtrsprts.com ---- e85 carbs & conversion kits
e85fuel.com -- general info with many links

hope this helps!
