No stopper problems here! I feel fortunate to live in an area where fuels are still fairly normal. 10 year old DuBro red stoppers still look and feel petty much like the day they were installed.

Iowa was one of the first states in the country to introduce Ethanol in fuels back in the late 70's. But we can still buy fuel both with or without Ethanol. I have never seen where either fuel has much effect on our carburetors .... at least in the last decade or so. As AV8TOR has discussed several times, fuels in his area, either with or without Ethanol all have negative effects on carb parts. It has to be an area related problem.
