    Probably Ethanol; if you leave it sit in the carb for any amount of time it will eat up everything and leave a nice mess in the bottom of the carb bowl. I have hauled fuel for the last 20 years and we have started putting it back in the gas again to make to oil companies more money. And it does bring down emmisions but it also likes to eat up carbs. I have to buy a carb for my 72 vette because of it, too. the rest of my car are now are fuel injected even my 70 ford pick up.
