What Will ethanol Do To My 91 Runner

I have read plenty of threads on this forum but cannot find what will hapen if I burn an ethanol based fuel. I have seen a thread where someone posteed that the injectors are not compatiable are there any available for the 91 4Runner w/a 3.0?

there is a fairly long thread, hijacked of course, maybe several times, at 4x4wire on this topic. Lots of experiments and lots of politics. It is in the toyota section.
I looked into the conversions that are available. Noone sells a toyota conversion, and no toyotas can use ethonal. I think it is becasue all the rubber used in the fuel system is rubber and the acid will destroy the seals and fuel lines. You could probably run a while on ethonal, as some have reported to have no problems at teh above mentioned thread at 4x4wire.com. I am guessing there are so many parts to trade out that aftermarket companies can't make a converion kit to a polyethylene fuel system.

I am guessing, no real knowledge.

Are you talking about pure ethanol or a 10%-15% blend?

I'm sure they are referring to a blend.

My manual indicates using 10% ethanol is ok.

I know in some states that's all that's available.

Perhaps there aren't any Toyotas in those states.
