with some other plastic, like in this new Holley kit:

Re: E-10 Gasoline The New Standard April 1st
I don't think so..... My needles barely last a year. The are done in
for sure every 2 years. The one I have in now has started to leak and
it's only a year old. I just pulled it and cleaned it's slides and tip
and we will see if I have to buy a kit or not....
I was experimenting with that crappy gas mix and my carb's mix to see if
I could burn the junk. Folks told me I was running lean if it wouldn't
burn alcohol so I tried to rich it up via the internal metering
needles. All that got me was a mid range bog and bad gas mileage.
I just went back to the stock settings and am hoping on the needle...

My Liberty has gotten worse and worse mileage over the last month. Maybe the
