No, you need a conversion kit. Since Ethanol is alcohol it eats away at normal tubes very fast. Go to your local mechanic and ask them if they put them in.
Ps. will cost you some big bucks. Ethanol isn't very efficient either. You will fill up ethanol 1.5 tanks of gas before you have run out of regular gas. Thats how they can lower the price, looks good, but hurts the wallet.

that depends on the car. many cars these days are what is known as flex fuel vehicles meaning you can use straight gasoline or E85, or a mixture of both. they have a sensor built into the fuel system that tells the computer what the alcohol content of the fuel is, and the computer adjusts fuel delivery and ignition timing as needed. earlier fuel injected cars can be converted over to flex fueling by installing the correct sensor, and computer, and then programming the computer to allow for flex fueling. you can also build your own EFI system that will allow for flex fueling, and install it on a vintage carbureted car that you are converting over to fuel injection. if you want to keep a carburetor on your car though, you will need to upgrade the fuel lines to alcohol proof lines, modify the carb to flow more fuel to the engine, swap the stock needle and seat for steel ones( or buy a carb already converted from a company like barry grant. the only drawback to converting a carbed car to alcohol or E85 fuel, is that you have to run that fuel, and flex fueling goes out the window as to run gasoline would end up with an extremely rich fuel mixture.
