Mechanical fuel pump question

In the recent past the new fuels destroyed the pump’s gaskets. Are there new gaskets that solve this problem. My engine is a 218.

Gaskets shouldn’t be too much of a problem, but the diaphragm might be if it hasn’t been rebuilt in the last 20 or so years. Antique Auto Parts Cellar/Then-N-Now Automotive has rebuild kits that have modern materials.

Diaphragm and check valve should be ethanol resistant in newer kits now.  Gaskets shouldn't matter since fuel shouldn.t make contact.
