Guys,
I don't know if you ever noticed your fiberglass fuel tank label warning. Most of them are painted over or missing, but I ran across this printed label on a 1977 31 Fly Bridge not long ago while doing a survey. I don't recall ever seeing the warning before, or what year they started using it. Just what we need to add a little more fuel to the fire, about alcohol fuel blends.

Taken verbatium from the label.
