Has Garlock tested gaskets against any Fuel Additives?

A…The chemical MTBE (methyl t-butyl ether) has become a very common fuel additive and gasketing compatibility inquiries on this material are frequent. Garlock in-house testing has shown GYLON® gasketing to be unaffected by MTBE. We have also found compressed sheet Styles 9850 and 3000 to be suitable for MTBE service. These materials are recommended for MTBE alone or mixed with gasoline.
