Well seems a little odd. I have used ethanol as cleaners for all sorts of
things with no strange effects.
Of course it has to depend on the solder. The current lead free stuff is
crap in and of itself.

Been quite a few scare stories in the press about how E10 petrol - coming
here later this year - will damage many older cars. Much of it the usual
press ********, after all E5 has been around for quite some time, and is
known to attack older 'rubber' flexible fuel pipes. Which don't last
forever anyway. Much of it generalization, but one specific was mentioned.
It attacks the solder used on carburetter floats (those made of brass).
Any comments?
