No doubt they would be, at least to some degree--but I think that standing
liquid (as in a float bowl) is more of a problem than vapor or atomized
fuel. Plus--if you are building an engine serious enough to want to burn
alky, there's one more excuse to help you justify the expense of putting
coatings on everything in the gas flow path like you wanted to do anyway!!
:-)
