the only concern should be that it does break if its the glass type. The fuel 
pump is below the carbs. Pressure will push the fuel.
?BTW, at least here is Oregon, one can still find ethanol free petrol. It cost 
more per US gallon. There are a few places not far from my house that sells it.

First off, thank you all for your input re ethanol. Seems like it?s not a Good 
Thing and that it gets worse as we go over 10%. That?s a brutal precis of a lot 
of wise advice! One last thing?I need this info for an article so do you have 
any anecdotal stuff that?s ethanol related?? Sort of ?I was driving down the 
highway when the diaphragm split and there I was, up to my ankles in E10, with 
only five minutes before I was due to scrub up??..no real need to spoil a good 
story with the truth but I suppose we need to keep our feet near the ground.
Now, slightly inspired by all the talk of ethanol eating rubber and all the 
accumulated crud, I thought I might reinstall my fuel filter. It?s an ?AC?, at 
least labelled as such?one of the glass bowl types. I was thinking of mounting 
it beneath the 6-way flasher/relay box about level with the top of the shock 
absorber. Is there any reason why it can?t be down there? ie +/-18? lower than 
the carbs?? For the life of me I can?t see a reason, but only fools rush in?.?
Thanks,
Simon
