Moghissi: Internal corrosion is one of many possible threats to a crude oil transmission pipeline that must be managed. It should be noted that crude oil by itself is not corrosive at pipeline conditions, but water can drop out of the crude oil and allow corrosion to occur where it accumulates. Water carried by heavy crude oils, including dilbit, does not significantly differ in corrosivity from water carried by other crudes.
Ethanol tends to be very corrosive because it can easily absorb water and dirt and without the proper filtration system ethanol can soon cause the corrosion inside the engine block. Specialized gas stations that offer E85 ethanol are still pretty rare so many drivers would have to drive further distances to find them.
