The otherproblem withGasahol, in addition to possibly causing gunk from the
gas tank to get to the carbs is on the rubber parts.

ZS carb diaphrams are affected.  Some of them swell.

Also, rubber components of the fuel sustem (hoses etc.) are affected by
alcohol.  Unless they are replaced by modern materials, they will break down.

Also, be aware, some brands of gas, including name brands, contain more than
10% ETOH.  Also, some contan methanol, which is more deterious to the rubber
componetns.
