[Healeys] Hd-8 diaphragms & oxygenated gas

[Dan Stromquist]

In Minnesota, we can by non-oxygenated gas.  My understanding is that it
contains no ethanol (and unleaded only of course) and will not harm the
diaphragms. Not many stations sell it and it is available in premium.

I Think Joe Curto sells the ones that are good.  SU Burlen ones work
properly too.
