CB,
I went and reviewed several Chemical Resistance Charts for PEX tubing. It appears that the hydrocarbons in gasoline and the alcohol additives have no long term affect. The only warning that I would be concerned about is that PEX tubing in not resistant to UV light, so extended exposure (for more than a few weeks) to direct sunlight must be avoided. This may or may not be an issue as most UV would be indirect. Other than that PEX tubing should be great and like you said use the proper fittings and crimps and I would not see any real issues in using it.
