with the E20 fuel introduced in India, is there any manufacturer any where in the world making suitable grade Viton oil seals compatible with Ethanol for RD350.s ?

the only ones affected would be the crank seals and they are what they are. im not sure of the materials used currently but us fuels are 10% and I've never ever had an issue. I don't avoid ethanol and its NEVER caused an issue. my 0.02

Yea worried about crank seals. It's 20% ethanol now in India. 0% ethanol is expensive and not available everywhere. I think all seals are not made if viton. There are issues like gumming, rusting, fuel lines breaking etc. loss of power is noticable along with fall in fuel efficiency. Any solutions are welcome. Thanks
