In Response To: Re: Fiberglass gas tanks and ethanol (Jim Ward)

Jim,

As Capt. Patrick suggested, do a search for the ethanol threads. There were some reports about aluminum etching from the tank into the fuel systems. Right now, I am still running with my fiberglass tank. 3rd year with ethanol in Long Island and no problems to speak of yet. My personal choices would be to go with the SS or a vinylester fiberglass tank.
