Restoring my father’s 1939 Chevy JA that has been in storage for about 35 years. Working on the Filt-O-Reg (see pics) gas line pressure regulator attached to the Carter W1 carburetor. I have completed the rebuild on the carb and bought a new fuel pump from Chevsofthe40s per p/n 15152349 37^51.
I am looking for assistance to find a solution in replacing the diaphragm with a elastomer that can handle today’s fuel containing ethanol. I have searched the internet on various solution paths, but not confident that they are correct for my needs.
I truly want to use this unit and not gut it for show with a modern regulator placed so it is not seen. I have explored the paths of vintage tractors and suppliers, food soda regulators, make your own, etc….. not sure where to go for the miracle solution. Looking forward to input.

Bob got back to me and indicated that I do not need the regulator with the mechanical fuel pump which puts out 3-4 psi. So I will not use it. I still would like to fix it for today’s fuel just to have it available. These regulators are sought after by car enthusiasts and it is in really good shape. I would like to have it functional
