I am shopping for a new all metal gascolator for my Mazda 13B powered

Zenair Zenith

One of the suppliers answered that none of their gascolators were

suitable for autogas because the alcohol in autogas damages the seals in the
gascolators.

Has anyone practical experience with this issue?

Yvon,
    Yep, the first Glastar I flew had an aviation gascolator and the seal on
it went real spongy in very short order, 2 or 3 days I believe. A suitable
replacement was found for a few bucks at the local industrial supply house.
