~MTBE is a known cancer causer, and is much more water soluable than
~many other gasoline components.
~
~The introduction of MTBE in the US gasoline supply has lead to a
~huge increase in the number of wells polluted, and thus shut down
~by, leaking gasoline storage tanks.
~
~This is a very hot issue in California, where MTBE was first 
~introduced, and where the problem is now quite wide spread.  There
~has been plenty of coverage in the newspapers of this issue.

silicone type fittings to survive.  Yes, I am in SoCal.
