Ray,

Be cautious as to what type of rubber or rubber cork/rubber gasket material

is used when exposing it to auto gas.  Some of the rubber and plastic

materials will be adversely affected by it.  I don't think I would use an

inner tube if I were ever going to use auto gas.  Try putting a piece of

whatever material you choose in a closed container of auto gas for a few

days and see how it is affected before using it in an aircraft fuel system.

Little pieces of cork or paper are very difficult to get out of a wing tank,

and can plug up a lot of things in a fuel system. The only material I use

for quick drain "O" rings is Viton.  The stuff is virtually unaffected by

auto gas.  It is also available in sheets of various thickness.
