I agree with you, Bob. All of the Gates fuel line hose at my favorite little auto parts store is ethanol resistant -- I don't think you can even buy fuel line hose that is not ethanol resistant. Like you said, unless you're just buying crappy old rubber hose it just doesn't make a lot of sense. Now, the zinc flecking off the carb bowls is a different story, but that doesn't sound like that's what's going on here.
