E0 fuel?

[jdub22]

I just recently acquired a ‘77 C20 Scottsdale. I’m wondering if ethanol free fuel is the way to go?  Am I wrong in thinking it’s less important beginnjng jn the late 70’s?  Excuse my ignorance, please. . This will be primarily a 3 season driver. I’m refueling every 2-3 weeks presently with the amount of driving I’m doing in the truck. Probably will not drive it much in the winter, here in Montana, except for during our brief warm spells when there’s no ice.
Any advice, thoughts on fuel differences is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Just use fuel stabilizer when it's going to sit and make sure you start and run it. I keep a schedule to remind myself to start and run everything from my motorcycle to my generator to my small equipment. Gotta keep the juices flowing. Cuz it's corn,  I can't imagine a more beautiful thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZlALdtOaRY

I would say it would be less important beginning in the early 2000's when E10 became the common.  The issues I have seen are related to older fuel rubber hose were not rated for this amount of alcohol where it deteriorates the hose rendering the vehicle useless until you fix the issue.  For gasoline powered things I own if it is old like our trucks I have converted to Ethanol safe hose, for lawnmowers I either put non ethanol in it, or I run the ethanol out of it out or drain it.
