First you have to get past old fuel lines and fiberglass fuel tanks, which are either dangerous, expensive or both. Get those fixed or somehow avoid ethanol.

After that, the only real way to avoid ethanol problems, if you can't avoid ethanol, is keep your gas fresh. That means buy gas from places that push a lot of fuel, so you know it fresh. Only buy what fuel you can use in a few weeks. Ethanol sucks water from the air, so the longer it's hanging around, the more water you get. Eventually the fuel can't hold the water and problems can happen.
