 here is my dilemna....
 
 I work offshore and am gone 4-6 weeks at a time.
 My holley carb leaks everytime I get home.
 Last hitch it was the rear bowl, this time I fired it up and the front bowl and the balance tube o-ring were destroyed.
 
 I don't really mind replacing the gaskets/orings every year, but 8 times a year is getting annoying.
 I can only assume this has to do with ethanol in the fuel? as it doesn't seem like it was a problem in years gone by.
 
 Finding fuel with no ethanol is nearly impossible, so where can I find gaskets/orings that'll stand up to the stuff?
 
 or do I just need to drain the bowls everytime I leave and hope for the best?
 
 
 many thanks,
 Drew
