In Response To: Re: Ethynol effect on gas tank (randall)

I'm a North-East owner of a 1977 28 foot Bertram, with a 165 gallon fiberglass tank. When I layed the boat up for the winter I had no problems. Storing her with about 40 gallons of fuel from Sept. 2005. I'm undecided what to do now! After checking fuel filters and having no apparent problems, should I launch her, replace tank or sink her? Was their any owners with a 1977 28 foot Bertram, with this problem?
