I am looking for a product that will stop my fuel tanks from being corroded by ethanol. Does it exist? Where?

I have searched the net and so far, I have not found a product that will inhibit the corrosion caused by ethanol in gasoline. It has been known for a long time that ethanol causes corrosion in mild steel due to higher water content and acidic contaminants such as formic and acetic acid that can arise during processing (as well as oxidation of the fuel during storage). I asked my fuel supplier this question, and he told me that ethanol does not cause corrosion. I then read an article that was written in 1991 that details the problem and names products such as Shell ALCOOL (marketed in Brazil). I would think that the refiners would put rust inhibitors in the fuel(silly me!).
