Can concur with that as the rubber inlet/carb mount for the Amal on my little racer did need replacing once a season due to the Ethanol in Shell V-Power that I was running it on. B.P's Super did the same last year and I now use Esso so will see how it goes in the future.

Amal have also started using Viton tipped float needles and O-rings in their refurb kits to help combat the effects.
