Are there any down side to using Nylon washers?
Will Ethanol in today's fuel cause issues with the Nylon?

According to this:
https://www.calpaclab.com/nylon-chem...ibility-chart/
Nylon and ethanol (or gasoline) are compatible. But remember, there is spring tension weighing on those things, and nylon is soft... unless metal is really hard to come by at your location, or you just have an overabundance of nylon washers, I can't see any reason not to use metal.
Hope that helps!
