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

1976 B28FBC in Brick, N.J. Replacing 165 gals orig glass tank with @160 gals 1/4" aluminum. Should be in next week. Ethanol came to NJ March 1, so had never run with it. Figured replace tank or risk engines. Hated to do it. Still plan to use stabilizer regularly. See tank replacement article on yachtsurvey.com. Also some good info here. Search "tank", etc. Good luck.
