I seem to remember cases of solder in fuel pipelines being eaten away in Australia some year ago. Cars were bursting into flames as the petrol poured onto exhaust manifolds.

Pure aluminium will form a corroded surface that 'seals' itself. But when an alloy it may not be so stable. Zinc alloys as in SU and AMAL carburetters are very prone to this ethanol corrosion I am told.
