Maybe we shouldn't get too fixed on the idea of "dissolving". There
can be no question that ethanol has a detrimental effect on perspex.

I'd be surprised to see Perspex used on a car fuel system. ;-)

My 1963 Mini had a short length of transparent plastic tubing leading
up to the carburettor (not perspex, but I can't remember the details).
Eventually it hardened and fractured.

Was very common on many engines in the 70s (particularly small engines
such as lawn-mowers) it is still sold as fuel pipe.
