As per another thread, I volunteered to see what the effects of mogas and alcohol have on proseal and common rubber parts found in aircraft fuel systems. Right now I have proseal soaking in Shell 92 octane unleaded with no alcohol, Bicardi 151 the highest alcohol content substance I could find without driving accross the state
and Arco 92 octane with 10% ethenal added. I have an old carb I can dis-assemble tomarrow to remove its rubber parts. Any other ideas are welcome...

Here is the gas and alcohol sitting on the can in my shop, I turned the heat up to 75 deg.
