Dubro gas stoppers are brown... Sullivan gas stoppers appear to be black (from looking at the Sullivan part numbers on Tower Hobbies website)...

Versus the while glow stopper

Uhhh, I hate to be the one to say this, but some really expensive experience has indicated that you should go with the Dubro brown stopper. I hate being "cryptic" again but I can't say more.

Ok guys. Thanks for the info. The Sullivan one is black for gas. Don't have the Dubro one. Will pay close attention to the black one from Sullivan.

I have heard the same basic thing that Silver stated. Something about the Sullivan gas stopper turning into mush.

Now that you mention it having a black Sullivan stopper turn into mush may have (very likely) happened to me... Last year I noticed that the stopper in the Sullivan tank in my 29% Aeroworks Edge 540 had turned to mush. Fortunately I just happened to catch this problem before any damage was done because of another issue... I bought this plane from an experienced builder/pilot and I remember thinking it was odd that he would have mistakenly used a glow fuel stopper... I've since replaced with a Dubro tank and brown gas stopper... Azhar -- you should seriously consider getting a brown Dubro stopper...
