Default Re: Ethanol -- Can HCH I or II Run on It?

Isn't the problem with running E85 the plastics used in the fuel lines and gas tank and the degrading effects of the alcohol? If that's the extent of it, why can't the car manufacturers just use non-degrading materials that can handle ethanol? I wonder if there could be a way to swap out components on an HCH-II to make it more ethanol friendly.
