Sid,You could try placing a questionable gasket material into a jar of fuel and
see what it does. I did this with Aeropoxy 10 years ago. I still have 2 jars
in my hangar that are good show & tell items. One with aeropoxy and 100LL -

Don't know about gaskets, but ethanol and some resins don't mix
Important if you have glass tanks

What types of airworthy gasket materials are there and which ones are
compatible with 100LL and/or ethanol laced auto fuels? How can I determine
what the gasket is made of before I put it in the fuel system?

Hi Guys, and thanks to all of you that commented on my fuel system posting.
I am using a Revflow carb., stock as far as I know. I've heard that
some have successfully added a pump, and that others have never been
able to get one to work with this carb. I guess that puts me in the
latter group

I would highly reccommend installing a fuel pressure gauge as I once had a

What sort of carb/carbs system do you have.Do you have the float chamber and
needle valve shut off system such as a Zenith/Stromberg or do you have a

What carburetor are you using. Some can use only gravity feed. I have
always used the Facet with the Ellison carburetor and have never had that
problem. I installed new Facet pumps for my new Ellison EFS-3A that I am
using on my new Roy's Garage Corvair engine and while probably not
necessary, i

that an immediate leaning of the mixture was required whenever it was

I am still undecided about the fuel pump after struggling with it for a
year. It is the Facet that has been recommended by several people.

Well I can't speak for everyone, but metal lines tend to stay where they
are, and look cleaner and generally weigh less, I use a combonation of the

There is widespread condemnation of the practise of using barbed fittings and
