    Are fuel lines of 2001 outboards safe for ethanol

    Hi. I buy regular fuel from whatever station is convenient. I'm sure it all has some ethanol content. Do I need to worry about the fuel lines, including all of the rubber and manifold lines on the outboard itself? If I look at my main fuel lines is there a way to tell if they are ethanol safe, if there is such a thing? Thanks.

    If they have never been changed, I would change them just for the piece of mind.
