Just because you see fuel in the line, don't mean it is flowing.
Example would be holding a water bottle to your mouth but not drinking it.
A no flow problem.
FWIW:
I don't like clear plastic fuel lines as most become as hard as a groom on his wedding night.
also in cooler temps, again, the hard line tends to leak.
just my call, your milage will vary.
Now,
on the non ethanol fuel issue.
While I don't like corn squeezing's in my fuel as it is best left for adult beverages.
I am not a fan on non ethanol fuel.
But only because it is not sold in large enough quantities for it to be fresh.
I would like an honest answer from the fuel retailer as to how many gallons they sell and how often they receive deliveries.
My bet at the inflated cost, they sell little of it and what they have is at least over a year old.
Again just my thoughts.
In my neck of the woods, you can go to the local airport and purchase non-ethanol gasoline. They don't want you purchasing large quantities, but 5 gallons is not a problem for them. Have you tried your local airport?
