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

Its stories like Harv's that make me think we may not all be screwed. (I hope I didn't just jink you Harv!)

I wonder why some boats have run for 3 years on ethanol and not had an issue while others have had problems almost immediately? Could it be due to the fact the tanks were made one at a time and maybe some tanks were more thoroughly built than others? Maybe the tanks that have had issues were all "Monday morning" tanks?

Regards,
Doug L.
