Downside to Flex Fuel vehicle

    I am looking at several used 2008 Grand Caravans. A couple of them
    have the *Flex Fuel* designation.

    Are there any potential problems for a Flex Fuel system, even if I
    don't have any plans to use Ethanol anytime soon?

    I know that fuel system components would have to be able to handle the
    contact with the water in Ethanol.

    Are any of these components prone to early failure? Are the filters
    more expensive?

    Thanks,

    -KM

    I haven't seen any other responses so I'll throw my 2 cents out
    there... If anything the fuel system components are going to be
    better designed and more durable than their standard fuel
    counterparts. Perhaps the fuel filter could be a little more
    expensive but how many times would one replace it anyway?

    No downside at all.
