Hi guys and gals. Once again I have to say that IF your engine has cork gaskets in the carburetor you DON'T want to use ethanol. Reason being cork is 'glued' together with a substance called shellac.

Now Holley has fuel resistant bowl gaskets-my personal jury is still out, although I doubt Holley would have gone to the trouble to market them if there wasn't a problem.
