[discussion of gas alcohol in gas]

   Please also be advised that alcohol *in any form*, that means as an
octane booster, gas line antifreeze, etc.,  plays havoc with the rubber
diaphragms in your carburator.  Alcohol has the effect of drying out rubber,
so therefore your diaphragms in the carburator become very stiff and do
not do what they are supposed to (as part of a pump/regulator assembly for
example).  This means early carburator replacement/rebuild time.  If you
don't believe me, find someone that uses alot of gas line antifreeze and
offer to rebuild their carburator...the diaphragms will be like typing
paper almost...
