No, this was an Ellison factory gasket and diaphragm. Ellison clearly states to use only 100LL. The problem was already there before the induction of the pure 100LL.

I found out a long time ago that some gasket material will not work with 100LL. Did your problem start after you bought 100LL It will make them swell. After they dry they will shrink back to normal. --- Mark Jones <flyk...@wi.rr.com> wrote: > A lot of you are asking if I am back in the air yet. > Not yet.
