Answer 2
There are huge variations in what cars can be modified to use ethanol due to the car manufacturer and year the car was made. If car was made after 1985, ethanol should not be as corrosive as for cars made before 1985.
Higher concentration (for example E85 or fuel with 85% ethanol) will have corrosive effect on rubber, plastic and/or aluminum parts that are not designed for it. Aluminium can be protected by anodizing it which will add protective layer to it.
Smaller concentration (E5 or E10) will not affect unprotected aluminum parts at all. They might still have negative impact on unprotected rubber parts (fuel lines, injector seals etc). Fuel tanks (or the lining within) might have problems withstanding the ethanol and should be replaced with suitable tank.

What else can I help you with?
If you rub hard rubber with piece of wool what charge is on the piece of rubber?
The hard rubber would acquire a negative charge as electrons move from the wool to the rubber. Wool has a higher tendency to lose electrons, leaving the rubber with an excess of electrons and thus a negative charge.
Will rubber show tyndall effect?
No, rubber does not show the Tyndall effect. The Tyndall effect is the scattering of light by colloidal particles or particles suspended in a transparent medium, which causes the light to be visible as a beam. Rubber does not have the scattering properties required to exhibit this effect.
What damage could result from ethanol in a gasoline engine?
Ethanol can cause damage to engine parts. It can also lead to damage with seals that protect your motor because it eats away at rubber.

Why does lightning not effect rubber shoes?
Rubber is an insulator, meaning that it does not conduct electricity very well. When lightning strikes, the electrical current follows the path of least resistance, which is usually a conductor like metal. Rubber shoes do not conduct electricity, so the lightning does not pass through them to reach the ground.
